We have represented people charged with crimes including disorderly conduct, domestic assault, the financial crime of defeating security on personality, murder, and first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Some people come to us wanting to take their cases to trial in hopes of a not guilty verdict. Others want us to help them through a difficult process with the least damage to their lives. We are always clear with our clients about what can and cannot be done, and then we work to get the best possible outcome for them. The criminal justice system often does a bad job at understanding the actual human beings that are charged with crimes. When we represent someone, we try to understand who that person is, which helps us serve their interests better.
We do all we can to counter-balance the state’s power for our clients. When you're charged with a crime, the immense power of the government is arrayed against you. The government has police to arrest you, talk to your friends and family, tap your phone, execute search warrants, give deals to other people in exchange for testifying against you, and many other things that may be hard to see. We help our clients understand what can and cannot happen in a criminal case; our clients then can help us understand the facts of their lives so that we can build the best possible case in their favor.
