Criminal Defense

Because of the devastating impact a that criminal prosecution can have on one's personal and professional life, our criminal defense practice stresses prevention of violations and aggressive defense at every stage of an investigation, including search warrants, subpoenas, and grand jury investigations.   Prior to indictment, when the situation is most fluid and prosecutors have yet to fully commit to proceeding with their case, we use every ethical strategy and tool available to limit clients' potential exposure and avoid indictment.

Yet, if criminal charges cannot be avoided, our attorneys are committed to defending our clients with experience, skill, and diligence in high level and complex areas of criminal prosecution including, but not limited to, securities fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, health care fraud, money laundering, RICO claims, tax evasion, embezzlement, bribery, perjury, alien smuggling, armed robbery,  narcotics offenses, assaulting police officers, and driving while intoxicated.
      
Real Estate Settlements

We are affiliated with Paramount Title & Escrow, LLC, one of the best and most respected settlement companies in the District of Columbia metropolitan area.  Our attorneys offer clients the unique comfort and assurance of cultivating a personal relationship with their settlement attorney prior to closing on their real estate transaction along with the security of knowing that their transaction will be processed by one of the finest settlement companies in the area.

Life & Estate Planning

As unpleasant as the task may seem initially, everyone should plan for their own demise.  Estate planning is one of the most important steps any person can take to make sure that their final property and health care wishes are honored and that loved ones are provided for in their absence. Though often overlooked or put off in favor of more immediate concerns, a comprehensive estate plan can resolve a number of questions that arise whenever anyone dies and significantly avoid expense, conflict and confusion for those left behind.  We assist our clients in making proper arrangements, based on their specific needs and circumstances, by helping to ensure that (1) their wishes are respected concerning extraordinary medical care, (2) loved ones will be appropriately provided for, (3) cherished assets will be distributed in accordance with their desires, and (4) as little of their estates as possible will be subject to government taxation.

Civil Litigation

When our clients are injured, physically, financially or otherwise, we aggressively pursue compensation for them.  Our attorneys have successfully litigated varied and complex civil disputes regarding contracts, fraud, conversion, civil rights violations, negligence, discrimination, police misconduct, toxic torts, and personal injuries, among other matters.  While we are confident and highly successful in trying civil cases, we are typically able to resolve disputes for our clients prior to incurring the heavy costs of trial.
