Our attorney's background as a former prosecutor gives us a unique perspective on the tactics used against our clients, enabling us to navigate through the complexities of your case and work towards results that align with your needs.

- DWI: Driving while intoxicated charges can carry heavy penalties. We will evaluate the details of your stop and arrest to seek favorable outcomes.
- Felonies: Felony charges are significant and can permanently alter your life. Our attorney will delve into the circumstances of your case to provide the strongest defense possible.
- Expungement: If a previous conviction has impacted your life, we’ll help you understand your options for clearing your record.
- White collar crime: Charges involving fraud, embezzlement, or insider trading require a keen understanding of financial law. Our experience positions us well to defend your reputation.
- Medicare fraud: Allegations of Medicare fraud can be damaging not just legally but also professionally. We work diligently to address these complexities with precision.

- Intoxication offenses: Intoxication-related offenses can lead to significant legal repercussions. We will work diligently to mitigate penalties and safeguard your reputation.
Our primary goal is always to seek a dismissal of charges where possible. However, when a dismissal is not achievable, we explore alternatives like pretrial diversion programs, which can keep you out of jail while providing a path for rehabilitation. Options such as drug courts and sobriety treatment programs may be appropriate for nonviolent first offenders, though every case is unique. Please reach out to discuss your situation and see if you qualify for these beneficial alternatives to incarceration.
