Criminal Defense
Peter J. Marek Law provides comprehensive criminal defense representation for felony and misdemeanor charges. Our practice focuses on protecting clients' rights through strategic defense strategies developed from arrest to trial. With insider knowledge from both prosecution and defense perspectives, we work to minimize penalties and achieve charge reductions or dismissals. Our services cover violent and non-violent crimes, including assault, theft, and drug-related offenses.
DUI Defense
Specialized DUI defense services address breathalyzer challenges, field sobriety test validity, and license suspension issues. We leverage technical and procedural defenses to contest charges while negotiating for reduced penalties. Our practice handles first-time and repeat DUI offenses, including complex cases involving child endangerment or aggravated circumstances. Services include DMV hearing representation and alcohol program requirement mitigation.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence defense requires sensitive handling of both legal and personal implications. We challenge evidence credibility, address false accusations, and work to prevent protective orders. Our representation includes misdemeanor and felony domestic battery charges, with focus on preserving clients' employment and family relationships while navigating restraining order proceedings and mandatory counseling requirements.
Probation Violation
Probation violation defense involves challenging alleged infractions and negotiating alternative sentencing options. We represent clients in violation hearings, present mitigation evidence, and advocate for modified probation terms rather than incarceration. Our services include technical violation defense and restitution agreement negotiations to maintain probation compliance and avoid jail time.
Sex Crimes
Sex crime defense requires specialized expertise in both legal and social consequences. We handle charges ranging from misdemeanor indecent exposure to felony rape allegations. Our approach includes forensic evidence analysis, accuser credibility challenges, and registry requirement mitigation. We work to prevent conviction while addressing potential civil consequences and employment impacts through strategic plea negotiations or trial advocacy.
