Practice Areas

Criminal-Our firm has extensive experience defending the rights of people arrested and accused of criminal offenses. We handle all types of criminal cases, from minor infractions and misdemeanors, such as traffic violations, to the most serious felony indictments, such as drunk driving, drug possession, drug trafficking, theft and burglary, white-collar fraud, sex offenses, sexual assaults, arson, conspiracy, murder, domestic violence, vehicular manslaughter, and internet crime.

OUI/DWI-Traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the influence. A conviction on OUI/DWI charges will result in fines and possibly land you in jail. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in such a difficult case.

Constitutional Criminal Procedure-The United States Constitution is the cornerstone of the relationship between the Federal and state governments and between individuals and those governments. Our attorneys are experienced in understanding and applying court decisions that interpret the Constitution and its Amendments in areas such as criminal procedure, due process, right to counsel, Miranda issues, search and seizure protections, and grand jury proceedings.

Criminal Defense and Criminal Appeals-Our firm represents and advises clients who have been or might be charged with a criminal offense. We also handle criminal appeals cases at all levels of the Maine state and federal court system.
