General Questions
Q: What types of cases does your firm handle?
We focus on criminal defense and administrative law for public employees. That includes everything from misdemeanor and felony charges to Skelly hearings, internal affairs investigations, and public agency disciplinary actions.
Q: Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. We offer a free, confidential consultation to help you understand your rights and assess whether we’re the right fit for your legal needs. We’ll review the key facts, answer initial questions, and provide insight into your options — no strings attached.
Q: How do I get started with your firm?
Contact us through our website or by phone to schedule your free consultation. We’ll gather a brief overview of your situation, set a time to speak or meet, and walk you through the next steps if we move forward.
CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Q: What should I do if I’ve been arrested?
Do not speak to law enforcement. Politely invoke your right to remain silent and request an attorney. Then contact our office immediately. Early representation can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
Q: Can you help if I’ve already been charged or arraigned?
Yes. Whether you’ve just been charged or your case is already in progress, we can step in to protect your rights, examine the evidence, and build a strong defense strategy.
Q: What kinds of criminal cases do you handle?
We handle a wide range of matters, including:
• Domestic violence & restraining order violations
• DUI and traffic-related offenses
• Drug possession and distribution
• Theft, assault, and violent crimes
• White collar and fraud charges
• Probation violations and post-conviction relief
Administrative Law for Public Employees
Q: Who do you represent in administrative matters?
We represent a broad range of public employees, including:
• Peace officers and law enforcement
• Firefighters and first responders
• Teachers and school staff
• City, county, and state employees
• Licensed professionals facing discipline or termination
Q: What is a Skelly hearing and do I need a lawyer?
A Skelly hearing is a due process hearing before a public employee can be disciplined or terminated. Absolutely — having an attorney is crucial to protect your procedural rights and challenge flawed or retaliatory actions.
Q: Do you assist with Internal Affairs investigations and POBOR?
Yes. We represent public safety officers during internal affairs interviews, and we aggressively defend against Peace Officer Bill of Rights (POBOR) violations or politically motivated discipline.
Q: What if I want to appeal or challenge a disciplinary action?
We handle appeals, grievance hearings, administrative writs, and judicial review in superior court. If your agency got it wrong — we’ll fight to make it right.
Billing & Payment
Q: How do you charge for your services?
Depending on the matter, we offer flat fees or hourly billing, and all fees are disclosed in writing before representation begins. We do not charge for initial consultations.
Q: What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as checks, and electronic bank transfers. All payments are securely processed and receipts are provided for your records.
