Criminal Defense - Our attorneys have the skill and experience required to successfully handle all criminal defense cases, including theft, robbery, assault and battery, weapons charges, drug possession, white collar crime, sexual assault, homicide, and all other misdemeanors and felonies.

Personal Injury - Our firm represents victims who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligence, carelessness, or recklessness of others.  We handle all personal injury cases involving severe, permanent, and crippling injuries due to motor vehicle accidents, wrongful death or medical malpractice. 

DUI / DWI and Drunk Driving Defense - Mike Barbarette and Kevin Quirk have over 25 years combined experience defending DUI cases.  Quite often people have entered guilty pleas in DUI cases without realizing that they are giving up valuable legal rights and that various defenses may be available to them.  You should contact an attorney as soon as possible as you only have ten (10) days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles to contest the automatic suspension of your driver license.  Mike and Kevin can request this hearing for you at no charge and discuss whether or not you are eligible to obtain a hardship license.

We also offer more information on Penalties for First Offenders and on How to Apply to DUI School .

Drug Offenses - Penalties for drug offenses vary widely depending on the type of controlled substance involved, the quantity involved, and whether or not a sale was involved.  Any drug conviction - even for a small quantity or minor offense - can result in a denial of student financial aid and a mandatory two year driver license revocation.

Traffic Violations – We defend individuals charged with a variety of state, local, and municipal traffic offenses, including reckless driving, speeding, license suspensions, operating without insurance, and other traffic related matters.
