Highlights of Criminal Defense Verdicts
Here are some highlights from cases defended over the last 7 years. Many involve the most serious charge - homicide. There have been other trials on other offenses with favorable results, and there have been numerous felony drug charges reduced to misdemeanors - too many for this list. But no lawyer can win every case. While we cannot promise these results in every case, we hope to show that they are indeed obtained with consistency. Each case presents its own battle.
