Years of experience have taught us that pre-indictment representation of the client is the most critical aspect of the criminal defense process. The mere return of an indictment with it's surrounding publicity ca destroy the life and career of a person or business. With the advent of the sentencing guidelines in federal cases, the specifics of an indictment alone can have an enormous impact on potential jail time and fines. Experienced criminal defense attorneys know that some of the best "lawyering" is done in cases without notoriety, because an imminent indictment is avoided or an advantages settlement is reached with the prosecutors.

Our philosophy is to take every opportunity available to dialogue with the prosecution to head off a formal charge. If charges have already been filed we attempt to convince the prosecution to dismiss a case before trial commences. We endeavor to accomplish this without unduly risking disclosure of potential defense strategy or evidence where such considerations exist. When the prosecution fails to respond reasonably or when the client wishes to proceed to trial, and given a full and frank analysis of potential trial and punishment scenarios, we fight with every available means for the legal dismissal of the indictment or acquittal at trial.

It is our belief that the most important component to the defense of any case is the client. Therefore we strive to keep the client fully apprised at all stages of the investigation of the factual and legal factors which may affect his or her case, so that the client may make most informed decisions possible regarding his or her future.

Our goal is to obtain the best possible result for clients suspected or accused of criminal violations. Whether through hard fought trials or structured settlements, our number one priority is to place the client's best interest first in all we do. Our background in law enforcement, prosecution, and defense of criminal cases allows us to give our clients the benefit of many years of combined experience in determining the best resolution of their legal problems. Given our sound advice and counsel, it is ultimately the client who must decide which path to take throughout the legal process. If the client determines that it in his or her best interest to negotiate a settlement with the prosecution, we will structure the best deal possible. When the client chooses to fight allegations of wrongdoing, we will lead him to battle. Whichever course the client chooses to pursue, we will lead him through every step of the judicial process.
