Criminal Defense
Tenacious defense when the stakes are highest.
A criminal charge can alter the course of your life. Our criminal defense attorneys provide aggressive, skilled representation from the moment of arrest through trial and appeal. We scrutinise every piece of evidence, challenge every procedural error, and fight relentlessly to protect your rights and your future.
Common Questions
What should I do if I am arrested?
Exercise your right to remain silent and immediately request an attorney. Do not speak to police without legal counsel present.
What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanour?
Felonies are more serious offences carrying potential prison sentences over one year. Misdemeanours carry lesser penalties but can still have significant consequences.
