Criminal Defense

When your future is on the line

If you have been charged with a felony, the stakes are high. Incarceration and devastating fines may result. A conviction can follow you forever — preventing you from voting, owning a firearm, getting certain jobs, or even renting an apartment.

Our lawyers understand how the criminal justice system works, and we will use that knowledge to aggressively challenge the charges against you.

Handling Expungements

Clearing your record

A criminal record can make it difficult to obtain a good job and become a productive member of society. Fortunately, there are certain convictions that can be expunged from the record.

With an expungement, the court orders that your criminal record and arrest documentation be destroyed. Most potential employers will not see expunged criminal information when they perform a background search.
