Criminal

Our goal for every case, large or small, is to protect and vindicate our clients.

Best Law Firms 2024 badge

McManis Faulkner’s team of trial lawyers fights misdemeanor or felony charges in both criminal and juvenile proceedings. Our reputation as a powerful defense firm stems from our rigorous investigation and preparation before trial, as well as persuasive legal arguments in court.

With expertise in state and federal venues – and three former prosecutors on the team – our unique perspective allows us to anticipate the strategy of the prosecution leading up to and during trial. Our clients remain our focus, and no matter the severity of the charges, we are committed to providing clear, consistent communication throughout the proceedings and giving them the representation they deserve.

Our criminal law attorneys benefit from strong crossover with our firm’s other disciplines, including employment law, family law, and business litigation. We have defended individuals, small businesses, public companies and their officers, shareholders, and employees in all types of criminal matters, including theft, and larceny, DUI, DWI and drug-related charges, traffic violations, domestic violence, and white collar crimes, such as fraud, embezzlement, and theft of trade secrets.  We also have several excellent appellate attorneys.

Through our proactive, client-centered approach, we seek to protect your rights, expunge criminal charges and ensure justice is achieved.
