Featured Areas of Focus
Criminal Defense
Do I need an attorney if I plan to plead guilty?
Yes. A lawyer may be able to get your case thrown out, reduced charges, or acquitted.
Criminal Tax Defense
I just learned I'm being investigated by a federal agency. What should I do?
First, call a lawyer. Any statement you make to law enforcement can be used to criminally charge you and/or convict you.
DUI/OVI
A police officer asks me to take a field sobriety test. Now what?
Law enforcement uses field sobriety tests as a tool for conviction. They are designed for failure. Regardless of what you do, consult an attorney.
Personal Injury
My case is straightforward, should I represent myself?
Absolutely not, no matter how simple a case seems. There’s an old saying, “He who represents himself, has a fool for a client.”
Divorce & Family Law
We want to divorce but we're still friends, do I really need an attorney?
Divorce is complex even for friends. Protect yourself from surprises with an attorney, get the resolution you seek.
LICENSURE DEFENSE
I received a letter demanding patients’ medical records. Help.
Call a lawyer, learn how to lawfully comply while protecting patient confidentiality and your interests.

Do I need to hire an attorney if I plan on pleading guilty?
Absolutely. You should never plead guilty without consulting an attorney. Only an attorney can determine if there are any legal or factual problems with your case that would enable you to have your case thrown out, get a lesser charge, or be acquitted.

Post-Release Control occurs after someone has been released from prison.
Probation is now referred to or called "community control sanction", which occurs when someone does not go to prison. If you violate either, a judge and or parole board, can violate you and send you to jail.
Felonies are more serious than misdemeanors.
Felony convictions can result in a prison sentence, while misdemeanor convictions can result in jail time. Both can result in loss of employment, driver license suspensions, fines, and in some instances sexual offender classification and notification requirements. Convictions for both stigmatize an individual which can follow them for the rest of their lives.
We defend individuals charged with all misdemeanor and felony offenses in all municipal, state, and federal trial and appellate courts.
