DUI
If you have been charged with a drinking and driving related offense in your state, it is critical that you remain silent and that you fully cooperate with the police, as anything you say or do may be used by the prosecution and the police to establish that you had a blood alcohol content (BAC) above the usual legal limit of .08 alcohol concentration limit at the time of your DUI stop. A conviction on these charges could result in life-altering consequences, including significant fines, possible jail time, and the loss of your driver’s license… 
Traffic Tickets
Many people view a traffic ticket as a minor inconvenience that does not require their immediate attention. However, that minor inconvenience can become a major problem if you lose your license or see skyrocketing insurance rates. With the thousands of miles of roadways sprawling across the nation, and the many, often obscure laws, it is not uncommon or even that difficult to find yourself charged with a traffic ticket. These can range in severity, and can have varying penalties that accompany with them, but regardless of the exact situation that you find yourself facing, if you have been charged with a traffic violation of any kind, you can be confident that…
Drug Crimes
One of the most tragic things in our society is when an innocent person is convicted of a drug charge. Law enforcement has so broadly defined the term “possession” that it means almost anything, including riding in a car that has drugs somewhere in it or simply sitting in a house where there are drugs. Many states aggressively prosecute and punish drug offenders, using all possible state and federal statutes. No matter what drug crime you have been accused of, the courts and the police must respect your Constitutional Rights…
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence accusations are dealt with very swiftly and decisively by law enforcement. If the police respond to a domestic violence call at your home, it is very likely someone is going to spend the night in jail. Prosecutors do not dismiss these cases and will move forward with them even if the victim does not want to pursue the matter. Families and love can be a wonderful thing. However, there are times when the right things go wrong. Unfortunately, domestic violence is a huge part of many American families today. It could be between husband and wife, siblings, boyfriends and girlfriends, same sex partners, parents and children, and many other combinations. Regardless, domestic…
Gang Crimes
Any charge for a crime is much more serious the moment it is determined by law enforcement to be related to gang activity or a gang member. If convicted, it means increased penalties. And if a jury gets the idea from prosecutors that an individual charged with a crime has any gang connections, it can instantly influence the entire outcome of the proceedings. In short, being charged with a gang related crime can greatly increase the likelihood of conviction. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO, is a federal law that was first used against crime families, such as the Mafia. Now, the courts use RICO against unions, gangs and other groups that have committed crimes together. Recently, New York state prosecutors have begun using a RICO-like law called…
White Collar Crimes
White collar crimes are criminal offenses that are usually committed by white collar professionals, such as managers, directors, supervisors, executives, politicians, and other individuals in respected, high-profile positions. Charges for white collar crimes often come down to the opinion of law enforcement or the prosecutor’s case. They can make serious errors, including not having probable cause to make the arrest, collecting evidence illegally, and disregarding your right to privacy or to carry on your business. We stand up to fight for your rights and your liberties. When a plea bargain is the best option, we go to every length to make sure that restitution, rather than jail time, is seriously …
