We investigate. We don’t just process cases.
We don’t take the other side’s story as fact, whether it comes from a police report, a DSS file, or the other party. We prepare every contested case as though it is going to trial.
We see the whole person.
Criminal and DWI: your first 15 minutes are free.
Consultations can be by Zoom or in person. We answer calls Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Where we can help
Misdemeanors and felonies, from first appearance to verdict, in state and federal court.
Criminal defense
From the stop and the breath test to the license hearing and trial.
DWI defense
Custody, divorce, child support, property division, and protective orders.
Family law
Abuse, neglect, and dependency cases, juvenile court, and placement on the Responsible Individuals List.
DSS defense
Sued, or need to sue? Contract and business disputes, and what to do first after you are served.
Civil litigation
Our approach
I
We get the evidence ourselves: body-camera video and lab reports, contracts and financial records, DSS files and school and medical records. We find and talk to the witnesses, and we look for what the other side’s version leaves out.
II
Plain answers about where you stand, your options, and what each one costs you.
III
Every contested case is built as if it will be decided in a courtroom, by a judge or a jury. That is how every option stays open.
We keep in view what you are protecting: your work, your family, your record.
