However, we also assist those who have been convicted of crimes in the past in applying for expungements and exploring other avenues for getting their criminal records cleared or sealed.
Driving Under the Influence

In addition to representing private citizens accused of drunk driving, we intervene on behalf of truck drivers and others with commercial driver’s licenses whose careers are on the line when facing DUI charges.
Traffic Violations
