Defense in Criminal Law, Types of Cases, and How We Defend You

Main criminal cases we defend:

Drug offenses
- Possession, distribution, marijuana, pills, controlled substances.
- Common defenses: illegal search, mishandled evidence, or rehabilitation programs as an alternative.
Theft, larceny, and fraud
- Accusations of taking someone else's property, using cards, or committing fraud.
- Restitution, charge reductions, or avoiding a criminal record can be negotiated.
Illegal possession of firearms
- Carrying weapons without permission or in prohibited places.

Our goal in every case is clear:

- Protect your record, employment, and immigration status.
- Accompany you in every hearing, without leaving you alone.

Legal Remedies and Objectives in Civil Law
In a civil case, it is not just about winning or losing. The goal is to obtain a legal solution that repairs the harm, enforces a right, or stops an injustice. This is called a legal remedy.
Types of Legal Remedies We Can Request
- Economic compensation (damages)
When there is an economic loss, physical, moral, or contractual damage, it is requested that the other party pays what is due.
- Rescission or cancellation of contract
When a contract has been breached, is unfair, or there has been deception, it can be requested to be legally annulled.
- Declaration of rights
The court legally clarifies who is right regarding a contract, property, debt, or liability.
- Specific performance of contract
The judge is asked to compel the other party to fulfill what was agreed upon in a contract (deliver property, pay, terminate a service, etc.).
- Preliminary measures or "injunctions"
If the judge orders immediate action (e.g., stop construction, prevent someone from selling an asset, freeze accounts).
