Overview

A criminal charge can affect every part of your life, and in some cases can intersect with a family or CPS matter. We provide defense representation built on early, thorough preparation.

Common situations

  • Initial charges or arrest
  • Investigation prior to charges being filed
  • Charges connected to allegations also raised in a CPS matter
  • Trial preparation
  • Post-conviction matters

How we approach the matter

We review the full record and investigate independently where appropriate.

We prepare every matter as though it may proceed to trial.

We coordinate closely where a criminal matter intersects with a family or dependency case.

What clients should know

  • We do not promise or guarantee a particular result, including dismissal or acquittal.
  • Every criminal matter is evaluated on its own facts.

Frequently asked questions
