We know that the legal process can sometimes be overwhelming. We are dedicated to providing you help in language that you can understand. If you don't feel like you understand your options, just ask, and we will work to find an explanation that works for you.

The first step is for us to work with you and come up with a plan to get the results you need. Through our understanding of the law and your understanding of the circumstances, we will craft a path to success.

Our Criminal Defense firm has extensive actual courtroom experience defending criminal violations.  You may now be second-guessing your decision to accept a plea deal rather than go to trial.  Probation can sometimes be a trap for the unwary.  If you are facing a violation for a dirty urine, drug use or a more serious violation you need attorneys dedicated to keeping you out of jail.

If your are on Sex Offender Probation or on Drug Offender Probation, special conditions have been added to your probation and it is easy to slip up and accidentally do something that constitutes a violation.  To constitute a legal violation, your act or omission must be willful and substantial and not unintentional.  Some prosecutors and judges take a hard line considering they have already given you one chance. Or job is to convince them you deserve a second chance and should not be sent to prison.  There may be valid reasons for your violation and there may be other options such as treatment or counseling or house arrest.  We will explore all of the alternatives and work to resolve your case quickly so you can plan your future.
