Areas of Practice

Criminal Defense

The criminal justice systems of PA and NJ can be complex and intimidating. The potential repercussions of a criminal conviction, especially felony convictions, whether involving incarceration, probation, child custody matters, loss of benefits, court costs, and/or job loss, is a very serious matter. You should have a smart, experienced, and aggressive criminal defense attorney advocating for your rights.

Family Law

Family law cases can mark some of the most important transitions in your life–as well as the most stressful and challenging. We work diligently to take a calm, amicable, and professional approach to family law matters. Our goal is to help our clients reach friendly agreements and remain on a friendly basis. The long-term health of your family is important to us, so we focus on providing you and your loved ones with the tools you need to improve your wellbeing and stability.

Personal Injury

If you or a loved one have been injured as the result of someone else’s carelessness, you may have a right to compensation. Whether the injury or death was intended or the result of negligence, you and your loved ones have a right to safety. If that right has been violated, you deserve compensation for your physical, monetary, and emotional losses.

Juvenile Law

Our attorneys are proud to provide representation for juvenile law cases. Juvenile crime cases present a unique set of issues that not every law firm is capable of addressing. Effectively representing juveniles requires a more holistic approach. Your attorney must take into account the family unit dynamic, the needs of the child, and at what stage of development the child is.
