If you’re facing prison time, we will build the strongest case to defend your freedom and reputation.


Your Liberty is at Stake

Prosecutors typically seek prison time on criminal cases. If you are facing a criminal case, you are fighting for your liberty.

Prisoners must learn to survive in difficult conditions. They can’t work, pay bills, or provide for their families. They see their family infrequently, in jail, and dressed in prison garb.

If you want to avoid the consequences of prison, the key to your freedom is in successfully defending the case.

The stakes are high, your liberty is worth defending, and we can help. 


How our Representation Defends your Liberty

To avoid prison, you need to build the strongest case against the prosecutor’s case.

The strongest cases are built with an attorney serving the client as both guide and advocate.

The best criminal defense representation provides clarity, advice, and advocacy.

1. Clarity enables you to make clear-headed decisions about the case.

You probably have limited knowledge of criminal law and procedure.

A patient, empathetic, and clear communicator with a good “bedside manner” will enlighten you about what to expect and the decisions you will need to make.

As your guide, we will speak via phone, email, and/or in-person meetings before and after key hearings so you always know what is going on.   

2. Advice enables you to make intelligent, informed, and confident decisions. 

You must make several complicated decisions where you must weigh questions of law, procedure, trial strategy, evidence, the judge, prosecutor, and jury pool.

As your advisor, we will help you weigh each decision so you make the decision in your best interests.

3. Advocacy convinces the prosecutor, judge, and jury to act in your best interest.

Once you have decided on a legal strategy, you need a persuasive advocate to successfully execute the defense.

As your advocate, we will present your best arguments in the light most favorable to your case to tip the scales in your favor.

Our representation will equip you to make the best decisions in building a persuasive case which will win back your freedom and reputation.
