Can my record be expunged?

It depends on the charge, the outcome, and your state's rules. We can review your record and tell you what's realistically possible.

What happens at an arraignment?

You'll hear the charges against you and enter a plea. We prepare you for exactly what to expect beforehand so there are no surprises.

Criminal Defense

Defense counsel across misdemeanor and felony matters.

The period between an arrest and a resolution is when the most damage can be done or avoided. We move quickly to protect your rights, challenge the state's evidence where it's vulnerable, and negotiate from a position informed by genuine trial preparation, because prosecutors offer better deals to defendants who are actually prepared to go to trial.
