DUI/DWI Charges
Charges of driving under the influence (DUI) and driving while intoxicated (DWI) can be very serious. Penalties may include license suspension, fines, and jail time.

We can assist with multiple types of charges related to prostitution, including solicitation, online promotion of prostitution, and sex trafficking.

We will ensure that our clients' voices will be heard as they defend against charges such as domestic violence, kidnapping, or aggravated assault.

Theft and Robbery
Property crimes have serious penalties, including jail time and large fines. We help clients who have been charged with theft or robbery by looking at the details of a case and fighting to reduce or dismiss charges based on a lack of evidence.
Traffic Offenses
Traffic violations may seem minor, but they can lead to fines, the loss of a driver's license, and even jail time. We help clients fight traffic tickets and avoid fines or points on their licenses. We can also defend against serious traffic-related charges such as reckless driving. We work to help clients protect their licenses and defend against criminal traffic charges.
Expungement
