When Things Get Serious: Knowledgeable Criminal Defense Lawyer
If you are a college student charged with drunk driving, possession of marijuana or a disorderly person offense, the consequences of pleading guilty or being found guilty by a judge can be devastating. In addition to paying large fines and possibly losing your license, you may end up with a criminal record which may jeopardize your chances of finding the job you want after graduation. If you are planning for a career in law enforcement or government service, those consequences could be near fatal.

- In-office consultations and meetings after hours and on the weekends
- Promptly returning all phone calls and e-mails
