Chantal has been a practicing attorney for two nearly two decades. She began her career at a national law firm and worked on complex litigation matters, including oil and gas litigation cases. She later opened her own practice with a commitment to provide exceptional legal representation to the most vulnerable — those who are facing criminal prosecution, or who are injured by the actions of others. Chantal has handled over a thousand cases, has had countless bench and jury trials, and has a high success rate in court. She takes pride in fighting for her clients.

Chantal is licensed to practice in New York and Washington, D.C.
We are your criminal defense experts. We have specialized in criminal defense for many years, and there is no criminal case that is too big or too small. We have successfully handled all types of felony and misdemeanor cases. Through aggressive pretrial motions and trial work, the vast majority of our cases result in acquittals or dismissals. We also effectively negotiate for diversion options or desirable plea agreements.
Because we are trial experts, we boldly pursue personal injury and other civil claims. We will fight to get you the best settlement or most favorable award
We have an established appellate practice. We know the law and can present elegant, persuasive appeals to challenge any conviction, unfavorable ruling, or verdict.
Our firm has an in-house investigator who is highly experienced and skilled. Our legal services include top-notch investigation to ensure effective litigation. We also offer investigation as a distinct service and can assist with background checks, process of service, and other private investigation needs.
