- Criminal defense: 30%
While I represent clients all types of criminal cases, I specialize in complicated cases including Sexual and Physical Assaults, Racketeering, Drug Trafficking, and cases involving the use of justified force. I also handle civil forfeiture actions which accompany RICO and drug seizures and am one of the few attorneys who have actually tried and won these actions.
