Client Victories

You are here: Home » Client Victories

The list below is only a sampling of results over the past several months. My experience and understanding of the court system has resulted in many cases and charges being dismissed and other cases successfully resolved without jail or with the initial charge being reduced or restructured to avoid a negative consequence for the client.
