THE PROCESS

1

Analyze, Strategize, and Advise

The first step is to review your case and the government’s evidence against you. You will then be presented with a legal opinion and an honest, thorough, and educated evaluation of your case, the likely and possible outcomes, and the plan for the best course of action. 

2

Negotiations

The first goal is always to have the case dismissed. We will gather evidence and any other tools that might help us to convince the State to dismiss your case. If that is not possible, we will discuss potential plea offers and negotiate with the State to get the best deal. 

3

Trial

If a dismissal or favorable outcome cannot be obtained through negotiation, then it’s time to fight. You and your witnesses will be prepared, and all evidence gathered and analyzed to prepare for trial. With over a decade of experience at winning trials, every available tool will be used to present the best possible defense. 

These are the next steps in your defense.

Board-Certified in Criminal Law

The decision of which lawyer to hire is crucial when you have been charged with a crime. Your future, freedom, and even your life could be at risk. Many lawyers make claims about their experience and various organizations sell badges to be displayed on websites such as "top" or "super." To become Board-Certified, applicants must be approved by a minimum of ten judges and other lawyers, have a certain number of years in practice, a certain number of trials and appeals in criminal law, and pass a comprehensive day-long test. Board Certification is the only credential recognized by the State Bar Association that ensures the lawyer is an expert in their field and the best choice for your trust.
