Misdemeanors and Felonies

The lawyers at DAVEY & GOLDMAN have been representing clients charged with criminal conduct for decades. We have obtained acquittals at trial, dismissal of all charges in settlement negotiations, and negotiated settlements to reduced charges for our clients. We have also had crucial evidence suppressed in many cases. Our philosophy is to prepare every case for trial even though most cases settle without a trial because we feel this is the best strategy to leverage your facts in obtaining a more favorable result. In addition, we advise you of every legal battle we think you may have and with your consent we would file motions to suppress, dismiss, or exclude evidence in your case.

At DAVEY & GOLDMAN we offer free initial consultations on all criminal misdemeanor and felony cases. We will sit down with you and discuss the specific facts of your case and tell you what we think a likely outcome will be for you, what possible defenses you may have, what we would charge you to represent you in your case.
