DUI/OUI
I handle all matters related to charges of driving under the influence, from concerns regarding the suspension or revocation of driving privileges to the determination of criminal penalties. I carefully examine all aspects of an arrest, reviewing whether there was probable cause to make the traffic stop, whether you were properly advised of your constitutional rights, and whether field sobriety and breathalyzer tests were correctly administered. See my page on DUI/OUI for more information.
Domestic Violence/Assault and Battery
I represent individuals who have been charged with assault and battery, including domestic violence. I also work with people who need assistance preparing an application for a protective order. For more information, please see my domestic violence/assault and battery page.
Drug Offenses
I handle the defense of criminal charges involving possession and/or possession with intent to sell. I will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts and circumstances surrounding your arrest, looking at whether your rights were violated and whether evidence was improperly obtained. To learn more, see my drug offenses page.
Estate Planning and Probate
I work closely with individuals and families needing to plan for the future. From the drafting of wills to probate administration and the distribution of assets, I will help you determine the best strategy to meet your unique objectives. I prepare and execute all documents to ensure that you have a thorough estate plan in place. I also represent executors, administrators, personal representatives and heirs in probate proceedings.
