Practice limited to Criminal Defense and Civil Rights litigation. My Criminal Defense practice is limited to felony cases only, including murder, sex crimes, drug cases, and "white collar" crimes. I may also handle a misdemeanor case if it is somehow related to the filing of a Civil Rights case. My Civil Rights practice is focused upon what is commonly called "Section 1983" cases
which involve intentional acts of misconduct on the part of law enforcement
persons. These cases deal with violations of Civil Rights "under color of State law." These cases usually involve unlawful searches and seizures, unlawful arrests, and excessive force by law enforcement. These cases are almost always filed in the Federal Courts.
