Criminal Defense
OKM defends clients charged with crimes ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. Our lawyers are committed to protecting your rights and to help you avoid life changing penalties. Whether you are charged with a misdemeanor or a felony, there are often collateral consequences that only the most experienced attorneys are aware of. Each case requires the proper investigation and knowledge of the law. We can assess a case and determine if we need to negotiate or go to trial, while always involving our clients as key decision makers. Our lawyers are recognized leaders in the area of criminal defense and have proven successful track records.
White Collar crimes including embezzlement, fraud and tax crimes are complicated. Charges are often preceded by long-term investigations by law enforcement. There are often multiple law enforcement agencies involved. We have a proven track record of untangling these cases. Our firm can also represent you in any business-related litigation that these types of charges can cause.
Sex Offenses are often accompanied by collateral consequences that can follow you for the rest of your life. We handle these nuanced, sensitive matters with care and tact. We understand how the prosecutor works and how they will try to build their case. We understand what the Judge wants to see and how to achieve that. We also handle SORA hearings and modifications and have a great understanding of the legislation surrounding this area of law. These matters take a very specific skill set, which our lawyer’s can provide.
Violent felonies can often require extensive investigations, including gathering witness statements and camera footage. Our firm handles every aspect of that. Violent felonies present a risk of state prison, and we take that very seriously. These cases can be won and lost based on the smallest details, and we know what it takes to create a clear and compelling case. Whether you are charged with a weapon, burglary, robbery or homicide we have the investigative skills and the attention to detail that is needed to successfully defend you.
DWI’s are some of the most complicated cases. We are highly skilled in representing clients accused of DWI and vehicular homicides. Our expertise handling forensic and scientific issues such as blood and breath test evidence is crucial to a proper defense.
Our attorneys are aware of how challenging and scary these situations can be, and we approach our clients with respect and understanding. Whether the case goes to trial, or we work out a favorable disposition, we will treat you with compassion and respect. We understand what is at stake, and we will diligently pursue all angles available to us. We are zealous advocates with vast experience and knowledge that combined lead to the best possible outcome and results.
