Experienced Counsel
Our lawyers have successfully fought for the underdog at trial and on appeal in state, federal, and military courts throughout the United States in cases ranging from capital murder to bank fraud. We have prosecuted and defended cases throughout the country for a combined total of over 100 years. We stay on the cutting edge of the law by teaching and participating in legal education seminars and conferences across the country. We serve in leadership positions in lawyer organizations at the local, state, and national levels. Our firm carefully limits the number of cases we accept so that all clients receive the attention and care that they deserve. Our fees are competitive, and based on the degree of difficulty of the case, the location of the tribunal, and the experience level of the particular lawyer handling the matter.
High-Profile Cases
Our trial and appellate attorneys consider each client's goals and remain ready in every case. We have handled high-profile cases all over the country and have established trial strategies that have proven to be effective with judges and juries. Our experience in handling high-profile cases is an invaluable asset to our clients. Sometimes, the case itself may be noteworthy. In other instances, the client may be newsworthy; for example, public figures, government officials, or professionals such as lawyers or doctors and senior military personnel. It is a delicate balance to represent the client zealously, handle the media, and protect the client's confidentiality and privacy in a highly publicized case.
