Criminal Defense
We defend adults and juveniles in state and federal courts against all types of criminal charges—misdemeanors and felonies alike. From minor traffic violations to serious crimes like homicide, our team represents clients facing charges or investigations involving drug trafficking, domestic violence, securities fraud, DWI, sexual offenses, and more.
Our approach is comprehensive. Effective defense goes beyond courtroom advocacy—it requires sharp negotiation skills, investigative insight, and trusted client counseling. At Dan Cron Law Firm, P.C., we dig into underlying causes, such as addiction or relationship patterns, to help clients make meaningful change and prevent future legal troubles.
We also understand the sensitive nature of high-profile cases. When publicity can hurt more than help, we manage media exposure carefully—only engaging with press if it strategically benefits your case.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence cases are often complex, not just he-said/she-said. We explore healthier solutions—such as counseling, mediation, or restorative practices—when they better serve clients and their families. A conviction can cost you your job, professional license, ability to coach, carry a firearm, or even your immigration status. Whenever possible, our goal is to resolve cases without criminal convictions.
Drug Offenses
Whether it’s trafficking, possession, or paraphernalia charges, we defend clients while also addressing addiction. We connect individuals (especially juveniles) with treatment and support—aiming to resolve cases without criminal records and help them regain control of their lives.
DWI
A DWI conviction can lead to jail, fines, lost driving privileges, and career or professional consequences. Time matters: we move fast to safeguard your rights. Our team uses cutting-edge legal and technological strategies—reviewing evidence, testing police procedures, and hiring expert witnesses—to challenge breath and field tests.
Juvenile Offenses
We believe in second chances. While teaching young people about the life-long impact of their decisions, we also look for alternatives that keep records clean and futures bright—encouraging learning over punishment.
Sex Offenses
Accusations of sexual crimes involve complex issues: forensic testing, investigative errors, and sometimes false allegations. Even without jail time, convictions can lead to lifelong stigma, registration, job loss, and housing barriers. We defend against accusations and aid with registration, parole, and the wider consequences of sex offense cases.
Violent Crimes
From homicide and assault (including against officers or family members) to kidnapping and sexual violence, we’ve successfully defended clients across the spectrum of violent crimes. Our team stays ahead of forensic science—using expert analysis to build strong defenses and secure favorable outcomes.
