Clients are strongly encouraged to consult licensed attorneys regarding their specific legal matters.

Represent clients before U.S. federal, state, or county courts, or international tribunals.
File legal pleadings, motions, or appeals.
Provide criminal defense, prosecution, or legal advocacy before government agencies.

Our services are advisory in nature and are designed to support clients in legal strategy, but do not replace direct legal representation by a licensed attorney.
