If the state or federal government charges you with a crime, you must find the best defense attorney you can. Innocent or guilty, you want someone who has a proven winning strategy.

        Our strategy has worked successfully for more than 30 years.

  First, we aggressively investigate your case and review it for both factual and legal issues.

  Second, we prepare for trial from your very first visit. We have learned that diligent preparation results in more dismissals, charge reductions and better plea offers from prosecutors.

  Third, we keep you fully informed.

  Fourth, we obtain the best possible plea for you or

  Fifth, we go to court and try your case.

        How have we done? Here are some examples:

  Defendant Charged With Capital Murder. Dismissed on the Eve of Trial

  Ex-Husband Charged with Assault with Intent to Kill Ex-wife's Boyfriend.  Acquitted

  Grandfather Charged with Molesation of 14-year old grand daughter. Acquitted

  Man Charged with Execution Style Murder in Drug Transaction. Acquitted

   Client Charged with Felony Murder in Bank Robbery. Acquitted on Appeal
