Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice handles felony and misdemeanor cases including drug offenses, domestic violence, and white-collar crimes. We challenge evidence admissibility, investigate police procedure violations, and negotiate plea agreements while preparing for trial. With experience in state and federal courts, we defend clients facing charges that could impact their careers and personal lives.
OWI/DWI Defense
Specialized defense for OWI/DWI charges involves forensic analysis of breathalyzer calibration, field sobriety test validity, and blood alcohol content measurement. We challenge procedural errors in traffic stops and chemical testing while negotiating license reinstatement options. Our strategies address first-time offenses through repeat violations with potential 18-month license revocations.
Family Law
We handle contested and uncontested divorces, child custody disputes, and spousal support negotiations. Our approach prioritizes children's best interests while protecting financial assets during property division. We modify existing orders for changed circumstances and enforce custody agreements through legal channels.
Estate Planning
Our estate planning services create wills, trusts, and advance healthcare directives to manage asset distribution. We establish durable powers of attorney and healthcare proxies while minimizing probate requirements. The practice addresses tax implications and long-term care planning for individuals and families.
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation representation includes personal injury claims, business disputes, and contract enforcement. We handle pre-trial discovery, settlement negotiations, and courtroom advocacy for plaintiffs and defendants. Our practice resolves property damage claims, insurance disputes, and commercial litigation matters.
