CORVUS LEGAL, LLC
Relentless Advocacy.
Corvus Legal is a principled firm built for high-stakes criminal litigation, where precision, courage, and conviction matter most. We fight for truth in the grey areas of the law, standing with those whose rights demand unflinching representation.
Areas of Practice
General Criminal Defense
Corvus Legal represents clients facing all levels and types of criminal charges, from misdemeanors to complex felonies. We combine meticulous investigation, strategic foresight, and relentless courtroom advocacy to protect your rights and your future.
Violent Crime Defense
When the stakes are highest, thoroughness and strategy matter most. Corvus Legal defends clients across the region accused of serious charges, including any homicide charge, battery, assault, and related offenses.
Firearm & Drug Crime Defense
Corvus Legal’s practice is grounded in a deep understanding of state and federal firearm and drug law. We dissect every search, seizure, and charging decision to best expose and challenge weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and fight for your rights and your future.
Sex Crime Defense
Allegations of sexual misconduct carry life-altering consequences. Corvus Legal approaches these cases with discretion, precision, and resolve. We scrutinize every element of the prosecution’s evidence, from credibility issues to investigative flaws, to ensure that your rights and reputation are protected at every stage.
Criminal Appeals
When the system gets it wrong, Corvus Legal fights to make it right. Our appellate work blends rigorous legal analysis with compelling written and oral advocacy to fight to restore justice where it was denied.
Post-Conviction Relief
A guilty verdict isn’t always the end of the road. Corvus Legal pursues post-conviction remedies for clients whose constitutional rights were violated, seeking to uncover evidence and procedural errors that demand another look and another chance.
Civil Rights Claims
Corvus Legal holds law enforcement and government institutions accountable when they overstep, and seek to amplify the voices of those the system attempts to silence. Our civil rights advocacy seeks justice for unlawful arrests, excessive use of force, and other abuses of power related to criminal investigations and prosecutions.
Investigations / Invocation of Counsel
Early intervention can change everything. Corvus Legal guides clients through the perilous stages of investigation and grand jury proceedings, working quietly but aggressively to mitigate risk before charges are filed.
Firearm Rights Analysis
Expungement of a state level record does not necessarily guarantee restoration of civil rights, including the right to carry a firearm for self defense provided by the Second Amendment. Corvus Legal can help you navigate the complicated federal and state overlap that can create exposure for you.
