Client Testimonials
FAQs
We’ve successfully defended over 47,000 criminal cases in 30+ years. Many clients walk away with charges completely dismissed before trial even starts.
That’s a myth that could cost you everything. Even completely innocent people need expert defence because prosecutors are already assuming you’re guilty.
Public defenders juggle 100+ cases and barely know your name. We offer payment plans because your freedom is worth more than their overworked attention.
We’ve heard it all before, and we’re not here to judge you. Everything stays confidential, and we’ve successfully defended these exact situations thousands of times.
We’ve turned around cases that other lawyers called “hopeless.” Our specialists know how to punch holes in witness stories and challenge so-called “evidence.”
We can meet today if needed and start building your defence immediately. The faster we move, the better your chances of beating this.
