We have years of experience defending clients accused of committing state or federal crimes. We also have extensive experience representing immigrants and members of the LGBT community.

FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE

The attorneys at our law firm have extensive experience challenging the evidence against our clients charged with state and federal sex-related offenses. Consistently, we treat our clients like family by not judging them, whether they are charged with drug crimes, theft or DWI.

EXPUNCTIONS AND OTHER WAYS TO CLEAR A CRIMINAL RECORD

We also handle juvenile matters, and assist individuals looking to clear their records through expunctions (sometimes referred to as "expungement"), petitions for nondisclosure and pardons.

SEX AND INTERNET CRIMES

We vigorously defend clients charged with sex and internet crimes, often falling under state as well as federal prosecution. A conviction for these crimes carries harsh penalties, like lengthy jail sentences, large fines, a requirement to register as a sex offender, and an enormous stigma associated with a conviction that will likely never come off one’s record.

We have a strong background fighting for dismissal or reduction of charges whenever the circumstances merit such and we will fight to exclude evidence and seek dismissal of charges in matters of wrongful arrest or improper seizure of evidence. We are well-prepared to defend you from all types of serious sex crimes, such as:

  • prisoner handcuffedProstitution
  • Sex tourism
  • Sexual assault
  • Child pornography
  • Indecency with a child
  • Public lewdness/indecency
  • Internet solicitation of a minor

IMMIGRATION CONSEQUENCES OF CRIMINAL CHARGES

We have an extensive background successfully handling immigration removal and deportation cases, often involving criminal arrests or convictions. We understand the immigration consequences associated with criminal charges in the United States — we will vigorously fight for your ability to remain in the United States.
