At DSK Law, our criminal defense team is comprised of seasoned attorneys, including former prosecutors and public defenders, who bring exceptional skill and insight to defending clients against a wide range of criminal charges — from DUI and white-collar offenses to narcotics violations and other serious crimes. We also provide comprehensive representation for all types of traffic offenses, including speeding, careless driving, and more.

We understand that criminal charges — even those related to traffic violations like DUI — can have profound consequences, impacting your reputation, career, family life, and driving privileges. Our attorneys are deeply committed to protecting your rights at every stage, recognizing the serious ramifications of convictions, license suspensions, mandatory jail time, and other penalties.

Our criminal defense attorneys have successfully handled high-stakes jury trials involving charges such as murder, robbery, and sexually motivated offenses. We also provide critical support for clients in jail, assisting with bond hearings, locating bail bondsmen, and advocating for bond reductions in cases where no initial bond is set.

Additionally, we help eligible clients pursue expungements to clear their criminal records and offer guidance on pre-trial diversion programs. For qualifying individuals, successful completion of a diversion program can lead to charges being dismissed — offering a second chance without the burden of a criminal conviction.
