Scott and Chris have each practiced law for more than 25 years. During that time, we have represented clients in complex and high-profile cases, as well as many clients in less notorious cases. Our clients have included bank presidents, corporate officers, attorneys, physicians, and brokerage houses, as well as small business owners, colleges students and entrepreneurs. We have also represented the alleged "masterminds" of complex fraudulent schemes, drug organizations and tax avoidance plans.

Experience, Knowledge and Compassion

We are known as committed and thorough lawyers who work hard for our clients. We have more than 50 years of shared experience in the practice of law. We are well-known and well-regarded in the legal community by judges, prosecutors and our colleagues in the defense bar. Our clients appreciate the experience, commitment, understanding and empathy we bring to their defense and representation. We know that whether you are in court for the first time in your life or have encountered the criminal justice system before, you are facing the unknown. We will guide you through the process and ensure that you understand your options.
