Sex Offenses
Sex crimes are among the most serious criminal offenses and can often result in lengthy jail sentences.

If you have been arrested for a sex-related offense, it is essential that you contact a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney right away.

Drug Crimes
Being charged with possession or distribution of drugs can often result in harsh penalties.  In certain jurisdictions, even the most minor charge of simple possession may be punishable by a jail sentence or probation. If you’ve been charged with a drug crime, you should seek legal counsel immediately. Our attorneys will take the time to learn your case inside and out and to devise an aggressive defense strategy.
We will investigate the process by which the evidence was obtained for each charge. In many cases, drugs are found by law enforcement during an illegal search. In these instances, the evidence obtained may not be used against you in a court of law, leading the prosecution to drop the charges. If the evidence in your case was obtained legally, our drug defense lawyers can often negotiate with the prosecution and find alternatives to jail time which may include deferred adjudication or probation.

If necessary, we have the ability to conduct a private investigation, contact witnesses and obtain other useful evidence. Treating you with the utmost respect, our criminal defense law firm will aggressively represent you to reach the best resolution, whether through a plea bargain or trial.

Assault and Battery

If you’ve been charged with assault or battery, you’re undoubtedly concerned about your upcoming trial, possible conviction and future livelihood. In the days ahead, it is absolutely critical that you consult with a criminal defense attorney who can help you navigate the complex legal system and create a strong defense strategy on your behalf.

Whether the charge brought against you is due to a misunderstanding, exaggeration or you were simply protecting yourself from the original aggressor, your attorney will make certain these facts are brought to light. An attorney will strive to ensure that you are afforded a fair and just trial. If you are convicted of misdemeanor or felony assault or battery, your attorney will advocate for a fair sentence as well as any rehabilitative resources you may need.

Differences between Assault and Battery

An assault occurs when one person places another person in fear or apprehension of imminent bodily injury. This can take place in the form of menacing threats, throwing a punch (but not actually hitting the intended target) or brandishing a weapon. Battery occurs when a person actually causes bodily injury to another person through the use of force, violence or a deadly weapon.

There are two classifications of battery: simple and aggravated. Simple battery occurs when an individual causes bodily injury to another person without the use of a deadly weapon or negligently injures another person with a deadly weapon. This crime is usually classified as a misdemeanor and carries a maximum jail sentence of less than one year.

Aggravated battery, on the other hand, is often categorized as a felony and carries a much more severe potential penalty. This type crime either involves the use of a deadly weapon to injure another person or occurs under a set of facts revealing the defendant’s alleged extreme indifference to the value of human life, resulting in bodily injury to another person.

Defenses to Assault and Battery

The law recognizes several defenses to the crime of assault and battery, the most well-known being self-defense. As you discuss the facts of your case with your defense attorney, it is vital to include all facts of the incident which may have given rise to your need to defend yourself. Your attorney may argue on your behalf that the alleged victim was the actual aggressor and you were lawfully protecting yourself from bodily injury. Another defense, known as defense of others, may be applicable if you were protecting a third person from the threat or imposition of bodily injury. Defense of property is applicable so long as the facts reveal you used reasonable force to recover your stolen property. The law generally condones use of deadly force to recover stolen property. Lastly, if the facts suggest you and your accuser were engaged in some sort of consensual activity, such as boxing or an athletic event, your criminal defense attorney may be able to argue the defense of consent.

In a concerted effort to reduce drunk driving, all states and most local counties have imposed strict laws against driving while intoxicated (DWI). If you are arrested and charged with drunk driving or driving under the influence (DUI), the consequences can be severe; you may lose your driver’s license, pay heavy fines, have your vehicle impounded and even receive a jail sentence. DWI convictions remain on your permanent criminal record and as a result, may interfere with your livelihood, causing you to lose your job or hinder future employment opportunities. With such high stakes, it is crucial that you contact a qualified DWI defense attorney as soon as you are arrested for driving while intoxicated.

Our law firm understands the anxiety and fear one feels after being arrested for drunk driving, and we will diligently represent you to ensure the best possible resolution for your case. We have a thorough understanding of sobriety tests and law enforcement protocol which can be part of an effective and comprehensive defense against the DWI charges you face. During our initial consultation with you, we will determine if there was police error, field sobriety test errors, inaccuracies, failure to follow proper protocol or administrative errors which may prove your innocence or lead to the dismissal of charges by the prosecution.

DWI cases are complex and the laws which govern them vary dramatically depending upon the state or municipality in which the charges are filed. Our attorneys are well versed in all local and state-wide DWI regulations and have experience interacting with police departments, prosecutors and the department of motor vehicles. If you’ve been arrested for DWI or DUI, contact our law firm today to speak with one of our knowledgeable attorneys who will fight on your behalf to ensure your DWI arrest does not turn into a conviction.

Domestic Violence

Being convicted of a domestic violence charge can have long lasting negative effects on your ability to obtain employment, own a firearm or even see your children. If you have been charged with the crime of assault or battery against a family member, you must meet with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.

Domestic Violence and Abuse Crimes

Domestic violence is a specific type of assaultive behavior directed toward members of a person’s family or household. It generally includes spouses, parents, children, romantic partners, step-family members, grandparents and grandchildren. Allegations of assault against a neighbor, plutonic friend or co-worker cannot be categorized as domestic violence even if the parties maintain a close relationship.

The term domestic violence refers to several criminal acts when committed against any of the above-listed family members. You may face domestic violence penalties as a result of committing the crimes of offensive touching, menacing, sexual harassment, trespass, criminal mischief, sexual assault, terroristic threatening or reckless endangerment. In other words, if the prosecution can demonstrate that you committed these crimes against a family member, the penalties and sentence may be enhanced under applicable domestic violence laws.

Penalties for Domestic Violence

The judge in your case will be most concerned with ensuring the safety of the alleged victim. Depending upon the relationship of the parties, the judge may order a temporary or permanent no-contact order. If the complainant in your case is the parent of your children, this could result in a difficult situation in terms of custody and visitation. Individuals convicted of domestic violence also have difficulty obtaining or maintaining primary placement of their children and may even lose visitation rights as a result of the conviction.

In addition to the civil penalties described above, you could face an enhanced incarceration period due to present aggravating factors. This may mean you are unable to see your family for weeks or months, unable to maintain your job and be prohibited from continuing your life as before. Domestic violence defendants are not permitted to own or possess firearms and many are forced to undergo lengthy anger management courses and counseling as a provision of their sentences.

Given the life-altering nature of a domestic violence conviction, it is imperative that you retain an experienced criminal defense attorney who can work to protect your freedom and relationship with your family. If this is your first time facing criminal charges and your history is clear of other felonies and misdemeanors, your attorney may be able to obtain leniency for you as a first-time offender, which could result in a dismissal of the pending charges.

People often talk about homicide and murder as if they are the same thing. And both are used to describe the death of one person at the hands of another. Legally, though, they are very different. 

The term homicide implies that one person is responsible for another’s death. Sometimes, such as in self-defense cases, it may not even be illegal. These cases are often called justifiable, excusable or non-criminal homicide. 

The primary factors in how one will be charged are the intent and the circumstances.

Homicide by degrees of severity 

Murder is always illegal homicide. It implies?and the prosecutor will attempt to prove?that the defendant not only committed the crime, but acted with malicious intent or criminal negligence (guilty act, guilty mind). Homicide is further classified by degree:

First-degree murder: Is pre-meditated?committed with “cruelty aforethought.” In some states, even unintentional murder may be charged as first-degree if it occurred during a crime like rape, kidnapping, robbery, or arson. 

Second-degree murder: Is caused by dangerous acts or conduct. 

Manslaughter: Can be voluntary or involuntary homicide.

• Voluntary manslaughter is the intentional, yet spontaneous killing of another. For example, killing someone in the “heat of passion.”  Note that you can not just claim passion?the situation leading up to the death must be one that would emotionally or mentally unhinge a reasonable person. Some states use the term third-degree murder. 
• Involuntary manslaughter is sometimes called criminally negligent homicide. It is usually the charge if you unintentionally kill someone through an unlawful or reckless act. For example, causing a fatal car accident while driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is criminally negligent homicide. You can also be charged with involuntary manslaughter if someone dies because of your high level of negligence in performing a lawful act. 

The consequences of a conviction are significant

Murder draws the most serious punishment, because society regards it as its most terrible crime. A conviction may result in a lenghthy prison sentence. 

If you do receive less than a life sentence, when you get out you may find it very difficult to get a job or find a place to live. You will also have lost some of the basic rights of citizenship, such as the right to vote and own a gun.

Skilled criminal defense is essential

For any legal issue, it is smart to retain an attorney experienced in defending those accused of homicide. But it is absolutely essential when you need a criminal defense attorney ? particularly when going up against a murder charge.

You need a criminal defense attorney who will:

• Make an effective argue for dropping of or reduction of charges
• Investigate every aspect of the case
• Challenge prosecutor’s evidence
• Negotiate for a plea if appropriate
• Obtain for bail 
• Strategize jury selection
• Be prepared to fight vigorously in court

And, if you are found guilty:

• Present mitigating factors that might reduce your sentence
• Appeal your case
• Represent you at parole hearings

If you’ve been charged with murder, contact our criminal defense attorneys for an immediate review of your case.
