Criminal Defense
"It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, ‘whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,’ and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever"

Personal Injury
Unfortunately we live in a world where individuals are sometimes harmed due to the negligence of others. While it would be ideal if everyone would look out for the well-being of their fellow citizens, this is not always the case. For this reason there are laws in place to correct those situations where people are unnecessarily injured.

Estate Planning
Individuals and business entities face decisions from time to time which require the application of technical legal knowledge combined with judgment and experience. In no area is this more important than in preparing wills and trusts to manage our clients' affairs, protect their heirs, minimize their estate tax burdens, and provide continuity to their family businesses.
Planning of this type often requires a multi-disciplined approach, collaborating with the CPA, the banker or financial advisor, and the insurance professional to develop a plan which is integrated, complete, and wise.
