Aggressive Defense Against a Wide Range of Charges
As a former prosecutor, James R. Samuels offers unique insight into your charges, the courts in which your case will be heard and the options you have to mount a defense. This insight, combined with our experience, allows us to provide aggressive defense to clients facing a number of charges, including:

Whatever the specific charges, we strive to help you avoid the penalties stemming from a conviction by exploring every avenue possible, including diversion programs and sentencing delays.
We also take great care to examine the charges, the events leading to them and the actions of police officers during and after your arrest for any information that can be used to pressure the prosecution to negotiate a favorable plea or drop the charges. This information can also be used to plead your case in court.
