Collaborative Law

Collaborative Law has the same goal as mediation: It is a process that seeks to help people resolve their disputes respectfully, without the need for a painful and expensive battle in court. Collaborative Practice provides you and your spouse or partner with the support and guidance of your own lawyers without going to court.
Criminal Defense

Criminal defense attorneys will help their clients in areas such as white collar crime, theft, drug offenses, and DWI, as well as misdemeanors and traffic offenses.
