Criminal Defense

Our attorney can help with minor traffic charges and assaultive offenses, including:

• Reckless driving - Reckless driving convictions can threaten your driving privileges or result in steep fines. Our lawyers can work to reduce your charge to the level of a traffic ticket.
• Driving without a license - Charges like driving while your license is suspended or expired can make restoring your driving privileges harder.
• DUI - Drunk driving cases are taken very seriously. A DUI can be a felony if anyone was hurt, you had a very high B.A.C., or you had a child passenger.
• Multiple DUIs - Repeated DUIs can lead to severe prison sentences and other harsh consequences.
• Assault - An assault charge can stem from something as simple as a minor scuffle in a bar or as serious as shooting someone.
• Domestic violence - Assault cases where the victim and offender had a domestic relationship are flagged by the court.

Divorce and Child Custody

Getting divorced is an extremely stressful life event, especially when children are involved. Our lawyers can help you with:

• Property division - We will fight to ensure that you receive your fair share of the marital assets. Most property acquired by either spouse during the marriage is considered marital property.
• Child custody - Deciding which parent can see the children at what times can be the most heart-wrenching part of a divorce. We will do all we can to protect your time with your child and your right to make decisions concerning your child.
• High-asset divorce - Spouses with significant marital assets have unique issues in their divorce cases. Dividing complex assets like stocks and retirement savings or profitable rental properties can be challenging.
• Alimony - If alimony is likely to be an issue raised in your case, you need an attorney who is experienced in dealing with alimony issues. Spousal support is most likely to be ordered in cases where the spouses were married for a long time and one was completely dependent on the other.
• Hidden assets - If you suspect that your spouse is concealing assets, such as by keeping a secret bank account or failing to disclose income, your attorney can investigate further.
• Restraining orders - If your marriage has become dangerous, getting a restraining order against your spouse can help to keep you and your children safe from your spouse. The court can order your spouse to immediately vacate the family home, stay away from places like your workplace, and refrain from contacting you. Having this order will not necessarily stop your spouse from trying to hurt you, but it can lead the police to take incidents involving your spouse more seriously or get your spouse arrested for coming near you.
