TOP CRIMINAL DEFENCE LAWYERS
AT THE TRIAL AND APPELLATE LEVELS

With our firm as your solicitors, you will have in your corner a lawyer with the experience, credentials and most importantly, the trial talents honed over two decades in the trenches of trials....and that gives you the edge necessary for courtroom battles. For your defence, we will do what we've always done....not back down.

We are available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week....and for your convenience, we offer evening and weekend appointments.

We believe that the PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE is the most important legal concept in the criminal justice system. Every inch of the way, prosecutors, judges and juries need to be reminded to respect this hallmark of our system....and not just pay lip-service to it.

And we've been involved in a number of high publicity cases and know how to turn such attention to your advantage.

We will arrange to meet with you for a free initial consultation, because we know that before you pay your hard-earned money to a lawyer in a criminal case, you want to know that the lawyer will pull-out all the stops for you, keep you informed about the case on a regular basis and be sure that you and your loved ones understand the process and the choices available to you.
