Being arrested and charged with a crime is not only an extremely stressful time for the defendant, but for the defendant's family and friends as well. There can also be job implications which can result in loss of income. I provide aggressive representation, whether it be at trial or through the plea-bargaining process. I always strive for the best possible result for my clients while simultaneously preparing them for any after-effects that might result outside of the courtroom.
