- Drug crimes: Whether your son has been charged with possession of marijuana or you were arrested for illegal possession of prescription drugs, we will explore grounds to challenge the evidence and diversion programs to avoid jail time.

- Domestic violence and defense against protective orders : When false charges of domestic violence have been brought against you, we fight to protect your reputation and your clean record. If an incident did occur, we may be able to get charges reduced to something less harmful to your future. In all cases, we work to ensure you can continue to see your children.
