About Company:
We're a family-owned boutique criminal, DUI, and traffic defense firm based in Shaker Heights, practicing in Federal and State courts throughout Northeast Ohio. But more than that, we're counselors, problem solvers, protectors, and fierce advocates who stand between clients and a system that is geared toward achieving convictions rather than justice. We work together seamlessly, communicate clearly, and share success. We anticipate each other's needs and foster a positive, inclusive culture.

We're committed to treating clients with dignity and providing unparalleled customer service - we see people, not their alleged crimes. We treat our role with reverence - shepherding clients through what may be their lowest point and helping them through to the other side is an honor and privilege that takes not only legal skills but empathy. We accomplish this with a brand of compassionate straight talk - providing clients stellar legal work while also recognizing the humanity in all of us.
