Criminal and Traffic Defense
Contact Attorney:
Criminal cases
Our firm has provided representation to clients in a vast array of criminal charges, from misdemeanors to very serious felony charges. A misdemeanor is a charge which carries a possible sentence of one year or less and is tried in the general district court. A felony is a charge which carries a possible sentence of a year or more and is tried in the circuit court.
Juvenile delinquency cases
Our firm represents juveniles charged with offenses which would be criminal charges if they were adults.
DUI cases
Our firm regularly represents clients charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. A DUI conviction can have very serious implications, including (but not limited to) license suspension, mandatory alcohol education program, suspended jail time, substantial costs/fines and special insurance. If there are other factors, such as prior convictions or an high blood alcohol content, then additional penalties – such as active jail time, a longer license suspension or installation of special equipment on one's vehicle – may apply. We work aggressively to get these charges dismissed, when possible, and when dismissal is not possible to work out sentencing alternatives that meet the client's particular needs.
Traffic cases
Our firm frequently represents clients charged with speeding, reckless driving and other traffic-related offenses. Each case must be dealt with on an individual basis, but some of the possible positive outcomes are as follows:
- Sometimes a speeding charge can be dismissed on the condition that the client complete a driver improvement course and pay court costs, provided that the client has never taken such a course to have a ticket dismissed before.
- Sometimes a reckless driving charge can be reduced to a lesser offense, such as regular speeding or improper driving.
- Sometimes, where there is a valid defense, the charge may be dismissed altogether.
Each case is different, and we cannot advise you on the potential outcome of your case until we have spoken with you and gotten the facts of your individual case. |
