Criminal Litigation

1. SCOPE OF DEFENSE

Our law firm engages in the defense of those charged with substantial criminal violations. It practices in both state and federal courts and represents clients in connection with appeals in both courts.

2. FEE STRUCTURE

The firm's fees for representation are negotiated on a case-by-case basis. Although the firm has demonstrated a willingness to accept installment payments, such arrangements are limited and should be considered a rare case.

3. NATURE OF DEFENSE

In federal court, the firm has represented clients charged with violations of the drug and narcotics laws, white collar violations including money laundering, bank fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, "ponzie schemes" and various investment related violations. In state court, the firm has represented those charged with drug violations, felonious murder charges, sexual assault charges, indecent liberties charges and an array of other state related criminal matters.

4. ADDITIONAL EXPERTISE

Often the firm draws upon medical expertise in its defense of clients, including medical examiners, psychologists and psychiatrists. It will employ other forensic assistance such as hand writing experts and reconstruction experts when necessary. It engages in the use of polygraph examinations as assistance in its representations, even though such information is not admissible in the actual trial itself. When necessary the firm will engage the services of mock jurors in an effort to better predict jury reaction. Any additional expertise is dependent upon the client's financial resources and consent.
