Criminal Defense 75%

Criminal defense law is the most important thing any lawyer can ever do. While most people charged with a crime are not totally innocent, they are frequently only guilty of a much lesser crime than the one the police/prosecutor charge them with. There are also a substantial number of innocent defendants due to sloppy police work or wittiness with a grudge to settle. These cases demand a lawyer's best efforts. You can be assured that your case will receive exactly that.

DUI and DWI 25%

DWI/DUI cases now involve the presence of prescription and nonprescription drugs in a driver's system. Unlike alcohol tests which look for a minimum level, these tests show up as "positive" when only trace amounts of certain drugs are in a person's system. This is the new area of DWI litigation, where it is more important than ever to use the law enforcement standards to show that they often arrest people on "guess-work" rather than following their own rules and procedures.
