Criminal - Our firm has extensive experience defending the rights of people arrested and accused of criminal offenses. We handle criminal cases on the state and Federal level, including minor infractions and misdemeanors and the most serious felony indictments, such as, drunk driving, drug possession, narcotics sales, theft and grand larceny, white collar fraud, embezzlement, sex offenses, arson, and conspiracy.

Probate, Wills & Trusts - Probate is the legal process by which a person's debts are paid and assets are distributed upon his or her death. State laws and procedures vary greatly, so, it is important to consult a firm with expertise in this area of the law to ensure that the deceased's assets are distributed correctly. A will is a person's declaration of how one wants their property dispersed after death. Because there are complex regulations regarding the validity of any will, it is important to hire an attorney with knowledge and experience. In order to establish a secure and regular income for loved ones left behind, many clients seek advice on Trust establishment and administration. By maintaining assets in a Trust, one can minimize taxes and leave a larger inheritance. The use of a Trust is also a way to provide a steady income to the Beneficiary over the course of time, rather than distribution in a lump sum. This strategy can reduce the Beneficiary's tax and allow the Trust to grow through investment. Trusts can also be established that allow charitable organizations to benefit.
