Our Approach
Our white collar defense attorneys represent both individuals and businesses in a wide range of state, federal, and administrative criminal matters. Early on, we develop aggressive and creative strategies to resolve crises both inside the courtroom and in the public relations sphere.
By vigorously defending against allegations from the outset, we often succeed in convincing prosecutors not to proceed criminally against clients or to resolve matters short of indictment. However, when no negotiation is possible, we have a reputation for taking tough cases to trial and winning.
