| | CIVIL RIGHTS
| | | | We vigorously represent clients whose civil rights have been violated. Under state and federal law, you have the right to be treated fairly and without discrimination or abuse by prosecutors, police officers and other public agencies and officials. We litigate our cases in both state and federal court, and frequently bring actions under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. If you believe your civil rights have been violated, an experienced civil rights attorney can explain your legal options. Some of the more common civil rights cases include: | | | |

CRIMINAL DEFENSE
| | | We aggressively represent clients in a wide range of criminal matters, in both the federal and state courts, at the trial, appellate and post-conviction phases.
Our firm handles a broad array of criminal cases, from violent crimes such as murder, assault, weapons, narcotics and robbery charges, to white collar crimes such as money laundering, fraud, identity theft, criminal conspiracies, and organized crime allegations.
We also represent clients who have been subpoenaed or are under investigation by law enforcement. Frequently, we are able to resolve cases before they are even indicted, limiting our clients’ exposure to criminal penalties.
We defend you against all criminal charges, including: | | | | | | | APPELLATE LITIGATION
| | | If someone you care about has been convicted of a crime in state or federal court, then you need a skilled, experienced, appellate lawyer.
A criminal conviction can be appealed if the verdict was based on mistakes or errors of law – for instance, in rulings regarding the admissibility of evidence, the instructions to the jury, or if the verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence. Our firm has the experience to review the details of your trial and advise whether there was an error that has a reasonable chance of being reversed on appeal.
Our attorneys have argued appeals in every appellate court. Through our appellate victories, we have established new legal precedents and have strengthened and reaffirmed existing law. In fact, outside attorneys will often retain us to handle appeals of their own cases.
In addition to appeals, we also handle post-conviction motions, habeas corpus petitions, petitions for writs of error coram nobis, and certiorari petitions. | | |
