Many people think that the first thing they should do after an arrest is to explain their side of the story to the police. In reality, this can end up just worsening the arrested person's situation, even if the individual is innocent. Law enforcement officers and prosecutors can easily take a person's statements and distort them so they sound incriminating. For this reason, our law firm encourages individuals to exercise their right to remain silent and consult with an attorney before discussing a criminal matter with the authorities. The first thing you should do after an arrest is to immediately contact an attorney!

If you are facing charges for murder or manslaughter, you understand what it means to have your future riding on your criminal charges. The charges for violent crimes such as these are very severe and your life may be on the line. Possible penalties for less serious violent crimes or other types of crimes include jail/prison sentences, requirements to register a sex offender, expensive fines, loss of driving privileges, probation, etc.
Our firm is prepared to represent individuals who are accused of sex crimes, drug crimes, theft crimes, white collar crimes and many other types of offenses. One major area of our practice involves providing defense for drivers who are accused of driving under the influence (DUI).
