Criminal Law

Criminal law, as distinguished from civil law, is a system of laws concerned with crimes and the punishment of individuals who commit crimes. Thus, where in a civil case two parties dispute their rights, a criminal prosecution involves the government deciding whether to punish an individual for either an act or an omission.

A “crime” is any act or omission in violation of a law prohibiting said action or omission.

Family Law

Family law, also referred to as domestic relations in many states, is the broad body of law that covers marriage, divorce, child custody, adoption, domestic violence, reproductive rights, and other matters regarding family relationships.

Complex Litigation

Complex litigation encompasses legal disputes characterized by their elevated intricacy, stemming from a multitude of factors. One of the primary complexities is the involvement of multiple parties, each with their own set of interests and stakes. Additionally, the factual or legal issues in these disputes are often multifaceted, requiring detailed examination and interpretation.

Abraham Lincoln

“The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.”

Clarence Darrow

“To be an effective criminal defense counsel, an attorney must be prepared to be demanding, outrageous, irreverent, blasphemous, a rogue, a renegade, and a hated, isolated, and lonely person - few love a spokesman for the despised and the damned.”
