Results!

There are many ingredients in the recipe for success. The facts of each case and what the government can prove certainly make the difference and are the biggest ingredients in the recipe. However, I believe with good lawyering, teamwork and execution… investigations and cases CAN be managed effectively. The following results prove it. I have left off the last names and the case numbers to protect my client’s privacy, but these are all actual cases that I defended with real results earned. In some cases I tweaked the name to preserve my client’s anonymity.

Please Note: The case results mentioned on this site are specific to the particular cases and do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome in any future case undertaken by the attorney. Each case is different, and these results should not be viewed as an assurance of a particular result in your case.
