Juvenile defense
Criminal law is rooted in constitutional law. We investigate thoroughly to determine whether, for example, the police violated the Fourth Amendment by conducting an improper search and seizure. We have won many criminal cases based on motions to suppress evidence that was gained through improper police actions.
Special Considerations for Juveniles
A substantial part of our criminal defense practice involves helping juveniles. Young people face a wide range of charges, commonly driving offenses. Even something as minor as a speeding ticket carries with it the possibility of a suspended license and a hefty fine. As a juvenile, with your whole life ahead of you, it is vitally important that you are aware of your rights and protect yourself — consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney before you agree to any plea or make any statements to the police.
