Defending Criminal Charges
Our team has experience prosecuting and defending all types of criminal cases. This includes many years experience in felony and misdemeanor cases. We are aggressive, knowledgeable and determined to prevail for our clients.
We will work to build a strong case designed to obtain a dismissal of the charge or victory at trial if that is possible. If you have already been convicted and lost your fingerprint card, our firm can file a petition to restore your fingerprint card.
Representation Before Professional Boards
You can face a disciplinary hearing even if you have obtained an acquittal or dismissal of the charge against you. We can represent you before the professional licensing board with the objective of retaining your license or avoiding disciplinary action. This can include representation by our attorneys at full evidentiary hearings as well as responding to questions with written answers. Each professional licensing board has its own standards, procedures and dynamics. Our lawyers will respond in a manner appropriate to the situation.
Your rights and freedom are important to us. Your license and professional reputation are too.
