Experience, passion & advocacy are your best defense.

If you have been arrested or are currently the subject of an investigation by law enforcement, your future and freedom may be at risk. A criminal conviction can destroy your reputation, your family, and, worst of all, take your freedom.

The decisions you make at the onset of a criminal case may affect not only the outcome of your case, but the rest of your life. At Maknoon & Associates, our battle-tested criminal defense lawyers bring decades of experience and insight, and we have the track record of success to prove it.

Not guilty of all charges.

“I admitted to the things that I did wrong, or in other words, the laws that I did violate and was still found not guilty of all 5 charges. 2 felonies and 3 misdemeanors. I got my job back and 13 months of backpay for the entire time I was not able to work. He is a natural and a boss at what he does. He always seems comfortable no matter how-bad it sounded to me. I thought he was over confident at one point but he proved me wrong by a long shot. I can’t thank him enough for getting me my job back. He literally made a miracle happen.”
