Experienced Negotiators and Trial Lawyers

As with other criminal charges, most theft charges are resolved ultimately by some form of plea agreement. Therefore, it is essential to have an attorney who is a skilled negotiator.

Our criminal defense team consists of experienced attorneys that are skilled at trial and in plea negotiations. Attorney Christopher M. DiLorenzo, a partner at our firm, is a former public defender and prosecutor.

As a result of his broad-based experience in criminal cases, Christopher M. DiLorenzo knows what works and what does not. Using his vast experience, Mr. DiLorenzo has helped many clients obtain favorable results at trial and through successfully negotiated plea agreements.

Depending on the nature of your charges and the evidence in the state's possession, we may be able to obtain a plea agreement that avoids a criminal conviction or that results in a plea to a lesser offense. If we are not able to obtain a favorable plea agreement, our attorneys have handled over a hundred jury trials and have the experience to aggressively defend your rights at trial.
