Criminal defense law is a critical branch of the legal system that safeguards the rights of individuals accused of committing crimes. If you or a loved one are facing misdemeanor or felony charges, it is essential to understand your rights and seek the guidance of a skilled criminal defense attorney who specializes in handling these cases. I am committed to providing comprehensive support and effective representation for individuals facing criminal charges.

Understanding Misdemeanor Offenses: Misdemeanor offenses are considered less serious crimes than felonies, but they can still carry significant consequences, including fines, probation, community service, and potential incarceration. Common examples of misdemeanor offenses that I help with include petty theft, simple assault, driving under the influence (DUI), drug possession, trespassing, and certain traffic violations. While misdemeanors may not carry the same level of severity as felonies, they can still have a lasting impact on your personal and professional life.
