THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK
When I was faced with a domestic violence charge, I found myself lost and confused and didn’t know where to turn. I feel so blessed that I found Liza.
FALSELY ACCUSED OF CHILD ABUSE
With Dana’s guidance I was able to overturn the “founded” ruling from CPS and clear my name. I couldn’t have done it without her.
STRONG ADVOCATE & DEDICATED ATTORNEY
Liza is an outstanding attorney. She helped defend me in a very stressful domestic violence protection order case and was extremely responsive, dedicated and aggressive.
CHANGED MY SON’S LIFE
Dana’s expertise and competence was phenomenal. She was able to help my son in profound ways, that many others could not.
OUR MISSION IS TO HELP YOU
PROTECTING YOUR INTERESTS
Criminal convictions, findings of abuse, protection orders, harassment, and setbacks in education threaten jobs and careers and families. But there are solutions and we can develop them, working with you.
OUR EXPERIENCE BENEFITS YOU
We’ve helped thousands of clients with varied problems over our 40+ years of combined experience. We draw from years of successful ideas and strategies representing defendants, victims, students and families in difficult legal situations.
HELP WITH WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW
Upsetting and sudden changes may be happening now. Arrests, no contact orders, temporary orders and emergency actions happen up front and can make life very hard. There are ways to get a jump start on managing and minimizing those initial impacts as we work toward the ultimate positive outcome.
PROVIDING PEACE OF MIND
We don’t want our clients paralyzed by fears of unknown terrible fates. Some experienced perspective up front will alleviate a lot of the emotional pain and let you sleep better.
FALSELY ACCUSED OR MISTAKES AND BAD MOMENTS
Evidence or mitigating circumstances or both can be brought to bear for your defense. False accusations are fought with investigation and evidence. Sometimes people make mistakes or have a bad moment and solutions are found through both evidence and mitigation.
PROTECTION AND SECURITY
Your legal problem may be that you are a victim. You may be the victim of assault or false allegations or stalking. You or your loved one may need protection from a bad actor and don’t know where to begin.
Our priority is always to protect our clients drawing from the solutions and strategies we’ve gathered over a combined 40 years.
TRUSTED, RESPECTED AND COMMITTED.
We are trusted and respected professionals. Other lawyers and professionals often recommend us because we have a reputation for resolving emotionally and legally complex cases with a high degree of skill and care. We maintain a consistently high level of client confidence and satisfaction.
