No one should face criminal charges alone. If you have been charged with a crime, you want an experienced, compassionate attorney who will represent you without judgment.. While my undergraduate degree is in Social Work, early in my career I represented a client charged with First Degree Murder.  The case involved an early form of DNA evidence.  While my science background was limited to Freshman Biology at the College of St. Catherine, I dedicated myself to learning the fundamentals of science so I could adequately represent my client.  Since then, I have had the opportunity to represent clients in cases with many types of forensic science.  I enjoy being active in the forensic science community and have had the privilege of serving on many forensic science based committees and boards.

I am a neighborhood attorney who works to meet the needs of everyday people. Most of my practice is devoted to criminal law, but I also handle the tenant-side of landlord/tenant disputes, post-decree family law matters (i.e. child custody modifications), Harrassment Restraining Orders and Orders for Protection, and especially enjoy what my colleagues call "weird law," which is to say cases the likes of which they've never heard of before and which present a unique intellectual challenge under the law. I have successfully taken felonies, child custody disputes, and much more to trial.  Whenever possible I work on a flat-fee or contingency basis. Quite simply, I do not need to take food off your table to put it on mine and the goal of my practice is to make a living, not a killing. Please don't hesistate to contact me. I always offer a free consult.   Before becoming a lawyer, I worked as a researcher and editorial assistant at Harper's Magazine in New York City and for a rare book dealer in Maine.

Duffy Defense was founded with one thing in mind, the client. Founder Alec Duffy grew up in a small town where access to attorneys was limited. The number of cases outpaced the means of the public defender, and private attorneys were few and far between. This backlog served to impact one class of people — the criminal defendant. But this is not just a small town phenomena that happened years ago. It is a current issue to communities all around the country. With limited time, defendants are unable to make informed decisions about their cases, and attorneys are unable to properly review the State’s evidence to file motions or negotiate resolution. In other words, backlog in the public system did not serve to benefit the defendant.. But backlog does not only exist in the public sphere. Many private law firms experience this as well — growing beyond their means. The difference is, private attorneys have the power to control their work flow, the power to prevent backlog.. Here at Duffy Defense, we truly believe in accessible representation. Meaning, the client should have direct access to their attorney. We do not screen your calls. We do not direct our clients through paralegals or office assistants. We provide direct and accessible representation — guaranteed.
