CRIMINAL DEFENSE

As a RETIRED POLICE OFFICER, and more than 30 years as an attorney, I have been on BOTH SIDES !  My law enforcement background,training, and experience provides me with knowledge and expertise other attorneys cannot learn from simply reading a law book.  As such, I am repeatedly contacted by attorneys to assit them on their cases.  

     "I have arrested people, written crime reports, written arrest reports, testified in court, and worked with the district attorney to prosecute people.  I am now on the other side"

     "I am also one of the few attorneys hired by law enforcement officers and other attorneys when they, or a member of their family, have been arrested or charged with a crime" 

ASK ANOTHER ATTORNEY:
"Do you have law enforcement experience"
"Did you graduate from a police academy"
"Have you been on the OTHER SIDE"
"Have you ever written an arrest report"
"Have you ever written a crime report"
"Have you ever investigated a crime as a law enforcement officer"
"Have you ever been thru specialized law enforcement training schools and courses"
"Have you ever testified in court as a law enforcement officer"
"Have you ever been on a crime scene working with CSI"
See what EXCUSE they give you for NOT having this specialized training, knowledge and experience, then decide who YOU WANT IN YOUR CORNER !
REMEMBER EXPERIENCE COUNTS! When you are considering hiring an attorney, ASK how LONG he/she has been practicing law.
DO YOU WANT A "NEWBIE" TO HANDLE YOUR CASE?
