CIRA DUFFE
FOUNDING PARTNER
BIO
Cira Duffe believes everyone should be presumed innocent no matter the charge. It is her passion to aggressively protect her clients’ rights, and defend them against prosecution. Whether a first offense or a third strike, Cira Duffe fights to WIN.
From family law (divorce, child custody, spousal support and asset division to guardianship, grandparents’ rights and step-parent adoptions…) to criminal law (DUI, assault, gun charges, burglary, sex crimes, domestic violence, drug and federal crimes…) to traffic law (expungement, speeding, careless, school zones…) to estate law (estate, trust, guardianship, elder law…) to personal injury law (slip and fall, suffering, lost wages…) Cira Duffe has your back.
Cira has been consistently voted a Top 100 Criminal Defense Lawyer for several years through the National Trial Lawyers Organization.
It is Cira's unique vision, convictions, and personal approach to client rights that motivated her to leave a cushy partnership to start a boutique law firm of her own - run the way she sees best for her clients. Smart. Aggressive. Strategic. Welcome to Duffe Law.
