Robust Legal Representation

20+ Years of Expertise Ready Behind You

Every case is different and will require a different strategy and approach depending on the jurisdiction, clients goals and strength of the case. At our firm we focus not only on specific legal results but also on the larger affects the case may have on your life. Legal actions do not happen in a vacuum and we make it our goal, whenever possible, to get our clients to a better place in their lives throughout the time of our representation. Treatment, therapy and the help of other professionals is sometimes essential in being able to accomplish these big picture goals and we are actively engaged with our clients throughout this process. When you hire us to represent you, you are merely retaining an attorney to represent you at court but rather are retaining an advocate, advisor and counselor at law to act in your best interest throughout your case in matters great and small.

“Experience matters – ask me how we can help.” - Josh Johnson

Compassionate Support, Powerful Results.

For me, practicing law has always been an affair of the heart. I care about my clients, their lives and the complexity of their circumstances. It is critical that every client share their side of the story and get a chance to explain their thoughts on what happened and what they think I may need to know about the case and their life in order to properly represent them. When desired by the client, input and support from friends and family is encouraged. I know that my success as an attorney is a result of not just my expertise but also the trust and meaningful professional relationships I have with my clients. One needs to know their clients well to represent them well.

This is a difficult question to answer, because even the smallest cases can have significant consequences. However, it is safe to say that most people should hire or at least consult with an attorney if they are charged with a crime (a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony). We advise anyone who has been charged with an offense to call us for a free consultation so we can discuss the details of the case to determine if counsel is necessary. Our initial consultation is always free.

Our firm has handled many cases where the mental health of the client was a central circumstance in the representation. In these cases, we strive to help the courts understand our client’s special circumstances and needs. Often, our client’s mental health status becomes a critical element in the defense of their case. Taking time to understand a client’s mental health concerns and then aiding them in gathering proof of how their condition is relevant to the alleged charges is extremely important. Coordinating with family members, evaluators, doctors, and other professionals is critical in the successful representation of those with mental health diagnoses.

If you have been charged with a crime, the State must provide you notice by handing or mailing you a ticket (in misdemeanor cases), or a complaint (in felony or gross misdemeanor cases). If you have not received either of these, then you have not yet been charged with any crime.

There are many ways to reduce the impact of a charge on a person’s criminal record. Many of our past clients have been able to resolve their cases without a conviction appearing on their records. Call us today to discuss the particulars of your case.
