Our Approach To Each Case

This is how we get great results for our clients.

Clear Communication

First, we listen to our clients’ specific fears, hopes, and concerns.


By asking questions and carefully listening, we obtain important information that we use in the defense of our clients.

Ongoing Education

We have come to learn that people are most fearful of the unknown.


One of our responsibilities is to educate our clients about the criminal justice system and the legal process.


Understanding the process, including knowing what comes next, and always being kept up-to-date with case developments, helps ease the stress for many of our clients.

Skillful Case Development

We create a tailored plan for each of our clients.


Depending on the case, the case development plan can include, but is not limited to, conducting legal research, utilizing private investigators, analyzing the prosecution’s evidentiary materials, consulting with attorneys in other legal specialty areas, and working with expert witnesses.

Aggressive Advocacy

We use the information assembled in the case development stage, to advocate passionately and strategically for our clients.


This advocacy can occur in pre-filing negotiations with the prosecutors, in motions submitted to the court, or in trial, depending upon each client’s needs and goals.

Gain An Advantage

There are advantages in hiring us to represent you.

Take Your Power Back

We have the skills and experience to harness the legal power you have and use it to your benift.

Do you find yourself laying awake in bed, staring at the ceiling thinking about your legal problem? Are you up for hours wondering how all this is going to turn out?

 

You might find yourself asking questions like:

  • What if my employer finds out?

  • Is this going to affect my professional license?

  • What's going to happen to my driver's license?

  • How is this going to affect my family?

  • How much is all this going to cost me?

  • Will I have to go to jail?
     

Has the stress spilled over into other areas of your life, like personal relationships, and your performance at work? 

Our clients come to us feeling like they have little control, or influence, over the legal situation they find themselves in. They are fearful of what the future might hold.

 

We understand that you want this legal situation behind you as quickly and painlessly as possible. We want that for you as well.

 

Contact our office today and we can help you get things back on track. We can harness the legal power you have so you can move through your legal problem and into a better place.
