State Criminal Defense

People who face criminal charges are placed at a disadvantage from the moment they are contacted by police. The police and the prosecutor know what evidence they will need to convict you of a crime and will use all of the resources available to them to obtain it. To protect your future and your reputation, you will need an experienced defense attorney between you and the state.
