Do Not Speak to the Police — Speak to a Lawyer
Law enforcement officials want to get you to admit to anything that may help them get you convicted. That is why it is so important to have an attorney with you at every meeting with the police.
We will sit down and review everything that happened that led up to your arrest. Should you decide to retain our services, we will investigate:
- Was there probable cause to arrest or stop you?
- Was the evidence properly obtained?
- Was police procedure followed?
- Were your rights violated at any step along the way?
- Are the witnesses reliable?
- Are there extenuating circumstances to your situation?
Taking Action to Change Your Life
Regarding any DUI/DWI or drug charge, we often recommend that our clients perform community service or get counseling prior to going to court. We know that the judge may look more favorably on you if you are taking action to help yourself.
Successful Intervention for Juveniles
The juvenile justice system is focused on rehabilitation, not punishment. If your son or daughter has been arrested for any crime at all, we can recommend resources to get them the help that they need. We place a special emphasis on representing juveniles charged with crimes.
"Thank you very much for helping my son gets through the program . . . he is doing very well now." — Recent letter from the mother of a former juvenile client.
Criminal cases that we have successfully represented include:
- DUI/DWI
- Drug charges (marijuana, heroine, methamphetamine, cocaine, crack cocaine)
