Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice handles all felony and misdemeanor cases with aggressive representation. Former judges leverage insider court knowledge to challenge evidence, negotiate plea deals, and secure not-guilty verdicts. We defend clients against charges including assault, DWI, drug offenses, and sex crimes while maintaining confidentiality and protecting constitutional rights throughout the legal process.
Personal Injury
We represent clients suffering serious injuries from accidents through dedicated advocacy against insurance companies. Our experience in civil litigation ensures proper valuation of medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We handle car accidents, workplace injuries, and other trauma cases to recover maximum compensation while clients focus on recovery with compassionate legal support.
DWI Charges
Specialized defense for DWI/DUI charges combines technical knowledge of chemical testing with courtroom experience. We challenge breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety test validity, and procedural violations to reduce penalties or secure dismissals. Our former prosecutor perspective identifies weaknesses in the state's case while protecting driving privileges and minimizing long-term consequences of conviction.
Sex Crimes
Sex crime defense requires sensitive handling and aggressive litigation. We protect clients' rights against charges ranging from indecency to sexual assault through evidence analysis and expert witness preparation. Our approach balances strategic courtroom advocacy with discretion to mitigate reputational damage while challenging the prosecution's case rigorously.
Mediation Services
Certified mediator Christine Dauphin Hernndez facilitates dispute resolution through structured negotiations. Our mediation practice focuses on criminal restitution agreements and civil injury settlements, leveraging judicial experience to find common ground while maintaining legal protections. This alternative to litigation saves time, reduces costs, and produces durable solutions for all parties involved.
