Criminal Defense
RHBG’s successful criminal defense team is led by a former prosecutor who has investigated and tried an extensive list of cases in state and federal courts. We represent individuals who are under investigation, who have been subpoenaed to testify, or who have been charged with violations of state or federal law. We also represent businesses and individuals, including professionals and students, accused of misconduct; often these matters involve parallel administrative or disciplinary proceedings.
 
Assault   Juvenile offenses
DUI   Motor vehicle offenses
Environmental crimes   Narcotics offenses
Financial crimes   Sexual assault
Healthcare fraud   White collar crime

RHBG also advises businesses about the most effective ways to mitigate the impact of director, officer or employee misconduct. In addition, we assist our clients in developing and implementing corporate and regulatory compliance programs. Whether you are a witness, the subject of an investigation, or charged with an offense, we assist you at every stage of the proceedings. We often negotiate favorable resolutions, but will vigorously defend our clients at trial when it is in their best interest.
