We have over 19 years of legal experience in criminal law, combining the skills of a defense attorney and the unique perspective of a former prosecutor. Experience allows us to predict opportunities and pitfalls in your case. Knowing the personalities involved (Judges, prosecutors, officers, etc.) lets us share that intelligence with you so that you can have better ideas of what to do next.

We strive to remove all assumptions when we first get involved. We try to understand exactly what the prosecutor thinks happened and exactly what the prosecutor can prove. By gathering as much information as we can about what is available to the prosecution - and what isn't - we can then satisfy ourselves with research on potential legal defenses. We then move on to the most rewarding portion of trial preparation: developing factual defenses. To truly understand the risks and potential rewards of trial, we need to get every bit of "lawyer-speak" out of our heads. When we can see the case for what it is and hear the argument without a word of legalese, we know how best to proceed.

There is no substitute for a hug from someone's mother, who is on her way from the courthouse to the jail to pick up her child and then hug them for the first time in months. Words cannot describe the feeling of walking out of court and checking our text messages, to see a photograph of our client with their little baby in their arms, coupled with words of thanks from their family for keeping or getting them home.
