In addition to representing clients in criminal defense in the above matters, our firm defends those who would like the court to reconsider their sentence through a Motion to Reconsider. We also represent those who are accused of violating the terms of their probation at a probation violation hearing.
We pride ourselves on preparing your case for trial and presenting your position to a judge or jury. However, we understand what is at stake for clients facing a pending criminal charge. We understand that our clients have an interest in protecting other important interests: keeping your job, protecting a professional license, and doing what is necessary to repair a damaged reputation.
