We fight to have evidence excluded, charges reduced, or the case dismissed altogether.
3. Assault and Battery
   If you have been charged with assault or battery, these offenses can result in significant criminal penalties, including prison time for felony offenses. Whether it’s a simple assault or aggravated assault, our attorneys have the skill to investigate the circumstances surrounding your case and provide a defense aimed at reducing or eliminating the charges.

Federal crimes are often prosecuted more aggressively, with cases being investigated by multiple law enforcement agencies sometimes over long periods of time. These types of offenses include drug trafficking, healthcare fraud, tax fraud, money laundering, other white collar crimes, and immigration-related offenses. Federal cases often involve complex legal issues and require an experienced criminal defense attorney.
