I stand ready to defend you and help you navigate your legal pathway out of the woods.

  • BOND HEARINGS

    Some crimes already have a set bond amount and can be posted quickly after a person is arrested. For those with no bond, or a bond amount that is unaffordable, the holistic gathering of information about the accused’s life and community ties becomes critical for presentation to the court for reconsideration.

  • MISDEMEANORS:

    A criminal charge which may be punishable by up to 12 months in jail, probation, and a fine. The time limits for trial are shorter in this type of case so call for a consult as soon as you receive any type of court document. Even misdemeanors can now serve as a basis for deportation, so non-US citizens should consult with an attorney prior to entering any plea, including paying a criminal traffic citation.

  • SERIOUS FELONIES:

    These are crimes that are potentially punishable by more than a year in prison such as robbery, kidnapping, burglary, and murder. A conviction will also mean the suspension of several civil rights: the right to vote, serve on a jury or possess firearms. The risk of deportation for non-US citizens is high, so obtain legal advice before entering any plea in a felony case.

  • DOMESTIC VIOLENCE INJUNCTIONS:

    A/k/a ‘restraining order’ – a civil action alleging an act of domestic violence (including repeat violence, dating violence, and sexual violence). Can also be filed by a parent/guardian on behalf of a minor. If the injunction is granted by the court, the Respondent will lose the right to possess firearms.
