Services
Personal Injury
We represent clients injured through others' negligence in auto accidents, slip-and-falls, and dog bites. Our attorneys negotiate with insurers to recover medical costs, lost wages, and pain-and-suffering damages. With a history of multi-million-dollar settlements, we combine trial readiness with strategic negotiation to maximize compensation for physical, emotional, and financial losses.
Criminal Defense
Our firm defends against felony and misdemeanor charges including assault, drug offenses, and domestic violence. We challenge evidence admissibility, negotiate plea deals, and prepare for trial to protect clients' freedom. Former prosecutorial experience informs our defense strategies, focusing on minimizing penalties like jail time, fines, and long-term record impacts through dismissals or reduced charges.
DUI Defense
We contest DUI charges through breathalyzer accuracy challenges, procedural violations, and field sobriety test critiques. Services include DMV license suspension hearings, jail-time avoidance strategies, and interlock device requirement negotiations. Our team secures favorable outcomes through case dismissals, reduced charges, or alternative sentencing programs like EHD.
Traffic Ticket Defense
We mitigate traffic violation consequences by reducing fines, preventing license suspensions, and eliminating points. Our specialists handle speeding, reckless driving, and suspended license cases through court representation. We leverage procedural knowledge to negotiate dismissals or lesser charges that prevent insurance rate increases and employment impacts for commercial drivers.
Wrongful Death
We represent families in wrongful death actions from fatal accidents, pursuing compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and emotional distress. Our attorneys handle complex liability cases against insurance companies, securing settlements like the $1 million recovery in a recent vehicular homicide matter through thorough investigation and trial preparation.
