If the criminal charges go forward, we will leave no stone unturned in your defense.

Not All Attorneys Are Created Equal

Although attorneys must meet minimum requirement to practice law, their levels of experience vary greatly. Some lawyers have a general practice and attempt to handle all types of criminal and civil cases. The criminal defense attorneys at the office of Aiken, O'Halloran and Associates handle only criminal cases. Attorney Peter Aiken is a former federal agent and former federal prosecutor with over thirty years of actual courtroom experience. Sean O'Halloran is a former state prosecutor with years of experience in defending and negotiating criminal cases.

Should I Use the Public Defender?

Unfortunately, public defenders have no control over the number of cases they are assigned to handle. In many respects it is similar to going to a public heath clinic where you have no choice over which doctor will see or treat you. If you want to choose an experienced criminal defense attorney to defend you, please review our profiles. Sometimes in life, getting something free is not a bargain, particularly when it comes to legal advice.
