The Diversity Of Practice And Depth Of Experience Needed To Protect Your Rights
Dvorak Law Offices, LLC is a successful civil rights firm that has obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts on behalf its clients, and has obtained significant “not guilty” verdicts in serious criminal matters, including the reversal of convictions on appeal.
Most civil rights firms do not handle criminal defense matters, and will simply wait for another lawyer to successfully defend the client’s criminal defense case before even considering the civil rights part of the case. At Dvorak Law Offices, we do both civil rights litigation and criminal defense, and practice those areas of law at the highest level and with the utmost excellence.
Conversely, most criminal defense firms do not handle civil rights cases, and will refer that aspect of the case to another lawyer. Moreover, most criminal defense firms only handle state court criminal cases, and only at the trial court level. However, very few criminal defense cases are that easy or straightforward. Few lawyers are equipped to handle the auxiliary complexities that may be involved in criminal cases.
