Our firm is known as one of the more aggressive criminal defense firms in the area. We handle all criminal matters ranging from traffic infractions and violations to misdemeanors and felonies. Exercise your rights and protect yourself and your family with our experienced and effective criminal litigators. Our team will empower you to make informed decisions about how to proceed in any criminal case, and we will fight to protect your rights during the process. 


Choosing a personal attorney is an important decision. We are dedicated, experienced, and committed to providing personalized legal services that meet the unique needs of each of our clients. This includes identifying, partnering and managing with teams of outside attorneys or experts in specific fields to address your specific issues, projects, or requirements.


Our corporate and real estate practice primarily focuses on representing buyers and sellers of residential properties, small apartment buildings, or small business and commercial transactions. We also have the capacity to advise parties on leasing transactions, and provide a variety of services to small business and nonprofits corporations. 


Emotions run high in family law matters, and disagreements can rapidly escalate.  Losing control of your situation may complicate your ability to reach your desired outcome. Our legal guidance and advocacy will keep your goals in sight, even when solutions are hard to come by or drag on for extended periods of time. Our team resolves complex family law cases – by settlement when possible, and by trial if not.

Attorney Woods is an attorney and planner, with an exemplary reputation for land use and zoning. Our team is available to assist on development projects, or with neighbor concerns about a project. We also serve as outside counsel to municipalities or public authorities. Whether as a proponent, opponent, or municipal consultant, our team has extensive knowledge in municipal law and public/private partnerships.

Not all law is litigation. We provide public sector and private strategic planning and consulting services tailored to individual client’s needs. Our services include developing municipal plans, public engagement strategies, and strategic communications. We can also handle executive recruitments (public/nonprofit) and employment contracts.
