Case Results

Our guiding philosophy has always been to obtain to the best possible results for our clients. We don’t just focus on their pending criminal matter; we also are mindful of the fact that a criminal case can have serious and long-lasting impact on potential family matters, employment, housing or education issues. Often, we are able to get great results through extensive negotiations, but we do not back away from asserting our client’s case through contested hearings or trials and by doing so we have been successful in obtaining dismissal of the charges or not guilty verdicts.
