Criminal defense has been one of our primary practice areas since Langrock Sperry & Wool was
founded, and we have successfully represented hundreds of clients in criminal proceedings.
Our experienced criminal defense attorneys offer creative, client-centered representation
in every variety of criminal case. We are committed to investigating the law and facts in
each case thoroughly, and developing the best strategy to protect the client. In each case,
our goal is to defend our client vigorously and zealously.
We handle virtually every type of criminal matter, including:
- State and Federal Court
- We represent people accused of crimes in both state and federal court,
and we are familiar with the procedures and personnel in both courts.
- Misdemeanor and Felony
- We represent clients charged with both misdemeanors and felonies,
and have experience with a range of cases extending from minor infractions up to and including
homicide. Our work covers DUI and other traffic-related charges, drug crimes, fraud and
embezzlement, property crimes such as burglary and robbery, and violent crimes including
assault, sexual assault, and homicide.
- White Collar Crime
- Criminal charges in the business setting require special consideration
and planning. We have the experience and the resources to evaluate a case and tailor a strategy
designed to meet the client’s specific concerns.
- Investigation and Pre-Arrest
- We represent clients in grand jury hearings or other
investigations, whether as a witness or a target. We also represent clients in
negotiations with prosecutors and law enforcement before charges have been filed.
- Hearings and Trial
- We give the client the information necessary to decide whether a
trial is the best course of action. If it is decided to pursue a case to trial, we commit
ourselves fully to that decision. We work with the client to prepare a careful, vigorous,
and effective courtroom defense.
- Appeals
- We have handled hundreds of appeals before the Vermont Supreme Court and the federal
appellate courts.
