Criminal Defense

If you stand charged with a criminal offense, you need a qualified, experienced, and reputable attorney to defend you.  The following constitute a brief list of matters we have handled or can handle:

Billing

In accordance with the example of the firm's founder, Leonard Peters, we strive to bill fairly for the work to be done, and all potential clients are encouraged to ask for more details about our billing. 

Note:  we do not charge for things like paper and ink as we view those as a cost of doing business.
