Our skilled criminal defense team will fight tirelessly and aggressively to protect your rights and position you for the best possible outcome. It is our goal to protect your freedom, livelihood, and future, and to give you peace of mind during this difficult time.

Our highly-experienced criminal defense team is comprised of former prosecutors, which means we know how the other side thinks. We have extensive experience litigating cases before the State and Federal courts of Vermont and an impressive track record of getting clients’ charges reduced or dismissed entirely. 

Why Work With Us?

Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor, felony, or federal offense, our VT criminal defense attorneys are committed to protecting your best interests from the initial investigation and throughout the trial. Our defense team uses tough negotiation tactics and highly-effective courtroom strategies to achieve the best results. 

Whether you are currently under investigation or you have already been charged with a misdemeanor or felony, it is critical to be proactive about protecting your legal rights. A conviction means more than just time behind bars. Even convictions for minor offenses can haunt you for years. A criminal record can negatively impact your ability to get a job, housing, or even obtain custody of your children. 

When it comes to criminal charges, every case is different. Our criminal defense lawyers will review the details of your unique case, determine the best legal strategy, and ensure that you fully understand your rights and options before moving forward. Facing criminal charges is stressful, and our legal team understands the importance of being accessible and providing regular updates on important developments. We will not keep you in the dark. You’ve been through a lot, and we are here to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
