Experience Matters
With several decades of combined experience, our attorneys know how to raise a strong defense on your behalf. We understand that drug charges are often based on a questionable evidentiary foundation, including evidence derived from an unconstitutional search and seizure, testimony from confidential informants and other individuals with questionable motives, and audio or video evidence that is difficult to decipher.
We take time to carefully review the evidence in the prosecution's possession and examine defenses that may be available to our clients. We examine police conduct to determine if our clients' constitutional rights have been violated.
Where appropriate, we file motions to suppress evidence, dismiss charges for lack of probable cause and file other pretrial motions designed to attack the strength of the prosecution's case. While most criminal cases are ultimately resolved short of trial, we believe strongly that thorough trial preparation and active case management are critical to obtaining the best possible results for our clients. When cases must be resolved in the courtroom, our clients can be confident in the knowledge that they are represented by a seasoned trial lawyer.
