Services
OUI Defense
Specialized defense for alcohol and drug-related driving charges. Our attorney's unique background as a former prosecutor and certified field sobriety test administrator enables technical challenges to evidence. We focus on disproving operation, influence claims, or breath test accuracy while protecting driving privileges.
Drug Offenses
Comprehensive defense for possession, distribution, and trafficking charges. We challenge search and seizure legality, contest drug classification evidence, and negotiate reduced penalties. Our approach combines constitutional challenges with strategic plea negotiations to minimize long-term consequences.
Weapons Charges
Legal representation for unlawful possession and firearm-related offenses. We analyze possession definitions, challenge weapon classifications, and leverage constitutional expertise. Cases often involve complex federal and state law intersections requiring specialized knowledge.
Assault & Battery
Defense against physical altercation charges. We investigate self-defense claims, challenge witness credibility, and examine injury evidence. Our strategy focuses on disproving intent or mitigating charges through witness interviews and forensic analysis.
Motor Vehicle Offenses
Representation for serious driving violations including hit-and-run and suspended license charges. We challenge evidence of operation, driver identity, and government burden of proof. Our goal preserves driving privileges while minimizing criminal record impact.
