Criminal Cases Handled

Our firm handles all types of criminal cases, representing defendants in federal, state, and military court martial proceedings. We have tried a significant number of cases to a jury, ranging from homicides to white collar offenses. Some of our key areas of practice include charges of assault and battery, child pornography, domestic violence, drug trafficking, DWI / OUI, murder and manslaughter, sex crimes, traffic violations, weapons offenses and federal crimes, such as various kinds of fraud, embezzlement, government corruption, counterfeiting, immigration related offenses, and many more. In addition to helping clients who are facing criminal charges, we offer post-conviction relief in the areas of sealing and expungement for those who wish to clear their criminal records, and criminal appeals for those who have been wrongfully convicted or sentenced.

In any criminal case, the skill and dedication of your attorney is likely to have a significant impact on the final outcome. Every single step your lawyer makes, even before you are formally charged, should be made to protect your constitutional rights to the fullest extent. If you have already been charged with a misdemeanor or felony offense and are in custody, your lawyer should help with your bail hearing so you can get released as soon as possible. Your lawyer should consider every option in terms of a plea bargain but should be prepared to go to trial on your behalf to fight for an acquittal if this is best for your case. A careful investigation of every angle of your charges and all of the evidence against you (including hard evidence and witness testimony) should be conducted in order to build a strong defense. At trial, your attorney needs to take a strategic approach, all the way from the careful selection of the jury to the opening statements, examination and cross-examination of witnesses and closing arguments in order to clearly communicate your side of the story while discounting the prosecuting attorney's case against you. Even the smallest detail can turn a case around - in your favor.

In providing criminal defense counsel to clients in Providence and throughout Rhode Island, no detail is too small to catch our eye. We will use everything we can in a client's favor to seek the best result possible.
