Our defense toolkit

We use a wide range of tools to defend you. Motions practice is a core part of our work. We file motions to suppress evidence obtained in violation of your constitutional rights, challenge improper identification procedures, seek dismissal of charges that lack legal foundation, and litigate discovery issues when the prosecution withholds or delays required information. We approach negotiation and plea discussions with a clear eye, measuring plea proposals against litigation risk, potential penalties, and the collateral consequences that go beyond jail or fines. Our trial readiness is thorough. We prepare witnesses carefully, retain experts when necessary, and develop exhibits that make complex facts clear and understandable. After trial, or when errors occurred, we handle appeals and post‑conviction matters, preserving legal errors for review and evaluating issues such as ineffective assistance of prior counsel, newly discovered evidence, or changes in the law. When appropriate and available under state law, we also pursue record relief, such as expungement, sealing, or nondisclosure, understanding that relief types and eligibility vary widely and must be analyzed jurisdiction by jurisdiction.
