• DUI
• Petty Theft

We further understand how stressful the court process can be.  That is why we advise most clients facing misdemeanor charges to “waive” their court appearances and allow us, their lawyers, to go in their place.  We believe this ultimately saves you time, money (as you will not have to pay for babysitters or lose a day from work) and embarrassment while we work hard to obtain favorable results on your case.
