Criminal Defense Practice in a Full-Service Law Firm

Put our former prosecutors to work defending you.

The best defense is often a strong offense. Our criminal defense attorneys have years of experience prosecuting criminal cases. The Criminal Defense Practice Group at Scaringi & Scaringi, P.C., is comprised of two criminal defense attorneys with over 50 years of combined legal experience — both prosecuting and defending cases. Attorneys Frank C. Sluzis and Keith E. Kendall are both former prosecutors with 25 years of legal experience each. Together they have over 100 trials under their belts. Our former prosecutors use the skills they developed prosecuting cases to provide our clients with the best defense possible. Our attorneys know how to exploit the weakness of a case and to use the law and procedure to the best advantage of our clients — in attempting to dismiss or weaken the prosecution's case through the assertion of our clients' rights, in negotiating the most favorable plea agreement or taking the case all the way to trial. At Scaringi & Scaringi, P.C., you will receive a vigorous defense of your case by experienced former prosecutors who know the law, the procedure and the courtrooms inside and out.
