Examining Real Causes: Not Every Tragedy Is a Crime

Our message to our clients and prosecutors in many such cases is: not every tragedy is a crime. Sometimes accidents happen. Ordinary people become entangled in situations which, from an outsider's point of view, may appear to warrant conviction and incarceration. Even when a client has done what is alleged, the situation may simply not warrant the criminal penalties proposed.

Protecting the Rights of the Innocent AND the Guilty

A criminal defense attorney's primary job is to defend you against a powerful, organized, well-funded government. The reason criminal defendants are innocent until proven guilty-the reason prosecutors have to prove cases beyond a reasonable doubt-is because our justice system is set up with checks and balances. The primary balance against over-reaching government power is your defense attorney.

What that means for you is that we defend all clients-innocent or guilty-to the absolute best of our ability.

Because of our extensive experience defending people accused of a wide range of crimes, we know how to discover what evidence the prosecution has accumulated, what defenses are available, and what options you have.

If you choose to allow us to represent you, we pledge to help you find your most persuasive defense while also giving our best as compassionate human beings to shepherd you through a difficult experience and help you see a new beginning to come.
