Criminal Law

On this page we will discuss one of our major practice areas, criminal law.  First, we will tell you were some of our most important criminal law Constitutional rights come from.  Next, we will discuss some general categories of criminal law cases that we handle.  We will also remind you of the right to remain silent, and the need to get immediate professional help from a criminal defense lawyer.  Finally, we offer suggestions on how to select a lawyer, and where find help.  

Your important rights are in the amendments to the Constitution.

We must vigorously enforce the Constitutional rights found in the United States Constitution.  Our Constitutional rights are the foundation to your rights.  These rights are found in the First Amendment, Second Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Fifth Amendment. 

Criminal law defense cases we handle. 

The criminal law is a very broad area of law.  At our firm we handle many categories of criminal cases.  These include:

Felony crimes;

Family crimes;

Drunk driving;

The right to remain silent.

One important right you have is the right not to testify against yourself, or the “right to remain silent.”  This right, along with other Constitutional rights, is one of your most important rights.  If you are ever approached, and asked to discuss a potential criminal matter about your self we highly recommend immediate legal advice before you say anything.
