Criminal Defense

Experienced criminal defense in federal, state, municipal, and tribal courts

Any criminal allegation can be a life-changing event. We are experienced and successful trial lawyers with the skills, resources, and training necessary to achieve the best result for you. Collectively, our lawyers have more than four decades of experience and have taken more than 250 cases to jury trial. Before joining the firm, each of our attorneys worked as a public defender, helping thousands of indigent clients through every phase of criminal procedure, from pre-charging investigation, through motions practice, trial, and post-conviction relief. We have handled the entire spectrum of criminal allegations, from serious violent felonies to simple misdemeanors and everything in between.

If you know a criminal charge may be coming, it is never too early to get help. We can make sure you understand and exercise your right to remain silent, coordinate with prosecutors and law enforcement to avoid a disruptive arrest, keep you out of jail, and preserve exculpatory evidence that may disappear during lengthy charging delays.

ACTUAL CASE RESULTS

Below is a sample list of the positive outcomes that our attorneys have achieved over the years. Every case is unique; past results do not guarantee future success.

·      Jury acquittals for murder, vehicular homicide, sexual assault, robbery, and other serious violent felony charges.

·      Dismissals for aggravated murder, child molestation, child rape, and felony assault charges.

·      Negotiated reductions of multiple violent felony charges to misdemeanors.

Criminal Appeals & Post-Conviction Relief

The law does not end with a bad verdict or ruling

Even if you have been convicted at trial, you still have options. If there were problems in the first trial—whether they were caused by the prosecutor, the court, or even your own attorney—you can appeal your conviction to a higher court, and seek reversal or even dismissal. Appeals typically must be filed within 30 days of the final decision on your case. Post-conviction relief, such as a Personal Restraint Petition, usually must be filed within one year of the final decision on your case. Missing these deadline usually means you have missed your chance, so it’s very important to discuss your case with an appellate attorney right away.
