Criminal defense paths

Review the path that fits the issue

The right starting point depends on the allegation, the filed papers, the current court or agency posture, and any overlapping orders or licensing issues. Review the relevant path before requesting a consultation.

DUI

Standard and felony DUI allegations, reviewed with the filed complaint, record, and separate DMV track in mind.

Review DUI

Domestic Violence

Criminal allegations, protective orders, communication boundaries, and related civil-order questions reviewed from the actual papers.

Review Domestic Violence

Sex Crimes

A private review of the allegation, charged statute, investigation posture, and any registration questions raised by the facts.

Review Sex Crimes

Assault, Battery & Violent Crime

Alleged conduct, witnesses, injury questions, and possible enhancements are evaluated separately rather than assumed from a label.

Review Assault, Battery & Violent Crime

Drug Crimes

Possession, sale, transport, and trafficking-style allegations are distinguished by the filed charge and evidence.

Review Drug Crimes

Weapons & CCW

Possession, carrying, licensing, location, and transport issues are reviewed without assuming the label establishes legality.

Review Weapons & CCW

DMV & APS Hearings

The administrative driver-license track is separate from the criminal case and depends on the actual notice and hearing posture.

Review DMV & APS Hearings

Restraining Orders

Requests, responses, temporary terms, hearing posture, and overlap with criminal protective orders are reviewed from the order.

Review Restraining Orders

A fact-led approach

A practical way to begin

A first conversation should make the situation clearer, not add another layer of uncertainty.
