Criminal Law

Most often charged

The OVI pages include penalties and information for family and friends.

The Domestic Violence pages include discussions about the arrest, protection orders, penalties, withdrawing a complaint and information for family and friends.

The DUS pages include information about the types of suspensions, points, my other DUS website and a special offer for brief advice to help you understand how to get your license back.

Some municipalities with malls or fancy developed shopping areas feel the must "crack down" on shoplifting.  Given that mandate, I have observed the police are more likely to charge cases in which they have little or, surprisingly often, very little evidence.  Call me and let me review the facts.

Not the crime it once was, paraphernalia still brings serious consequences.  You can lose your license to drive for six months.  You can end up in jail for up to thirty days.  Add-on charges can cost you your student loans.  Call me and let me review the facts.

Your Interface

The interface between you and your attorney and then the courts will determine how efficient the process of defending you proceeds.  It is vitally important that the communication link between you and your attorney be open as possible.  Much needs to be done.  It must be done efficiently.

Hours

If you need immediate advice, call now.  I will make every effort to either take your call or call you back as soon as I can.

It is not required that you take a day off work to meet with me.  I will make every effort to schedule appointments that work with your schedule.
