Fighting Felony and Misdemeanor Charges
If you are charged with a felony or misdemeanor, you may be terrified about the outcome of the case and the effect it will have on your life. Will you go to jail? Will you receive heavy fines? Will you lose other rights or freedoms?

- Felon in possession of firearm
- Parole or probation violations

Misdemeanor charges:

- DUI
- Petty theft or shoplifting
- Use or possession of narcotics

When clients contact me, I know they are looking for an honest assessment of their case and situation. I take the time to understand my clients and their concerns, and I will always take the time to make sure you have the information you need to make informed decisions about your legal situation.
