Practice Areas

Criminal Defense

When you are facing criminal charges, everything can feel like it is moving too fast and out of your control. At Sisu Law, we believe you should understand what is happening to you and why. We take the time to explain the charges, the process, and the real risks you are facing so you can make informed decisions about your case. Whether you are dealing with a DUI, drug charge, theft, assault, or a more serious allegation, our role is to stand between you and the government, protect your rights, and build a strategy that reflects your goals and your reality.


You do not have to face the system alone. We will help you see your options clearly and choose the path that makes the most sense for your future.

Civil Rights

At Sisu Law, protecting civil rights means making sure people are not powerless when the government or other institutions misuse their authority. When agencies, employers, or law enforcement cross the line, the system often becomes confusing and intimidating by design. We work to cut through that legal chaos, explain what your rights are, and help you understand what options are available to you. Whether the issue involves unlawful detention, discrimination, police misconduct, or other abuses of power, our role is to stand between you and the system and hold it accountable. 


If you believe your rights have been violated, you deserve clear answers and real advocacy. We will help you understand what happened, what the law allows, and what can be done to move forward.

Guardianships

At Sisu Law, we help families navigate guardianship and conservatorship with clarity and care. These cases affect some of the most vulnerable people, and they are often wrapped in legal complexity that makes it hard to know what to do next. We take the time to explain the process, the options, and the responsibilities involved so you can make informed decisions for the person you are trying to protect. Whether you are seeking to establish, change, or challenge a guardianship or conservatorship, we stand with you and use the law as a tool to protect the rights, safety, and well being of the person at the center of the case.

Juvenile

Juvenile court can feel overwhelming for families because so much happens quickly and in a language that is hard to understand. At Sisu Law, we believe that understanding is power. We take the time to explain what is happening, what the court is deciding, and what each step means for your child and your family. We work to make sure children are protected, parents know their rights, and no one is left in the dark. When families can see the process clearly, they are better able to make informed decisions and advocate for what their children truly need.

We are ready to help you.

Criminal Defense, Civil Rights Violations, Juvenile Courts, and Guardianship Matters Legal Team

Meet the team

We start by making the law clear. Every case begins with cutting through legal overgrowth so clients understand how they got here, what the rules actually say, and where power is being applied. Once the landscape is visible, we build a strategy that fits the real situation, not just the statute book.


For families and children, this means using the legal system as a tool to secure safety, stability, and the support they need to move forward. In criminal defense and civil rights matters, it means standing between our clients and the government, ensuring they understand their rights, and challenging overreach when power is misused.


Clarity drives every decision. Strategy flows from understanding. The result is advocacy that is focused, intentional, and built to protect what matters most.
