From the earliest criminal trials in America, passionate lawyers have stood between their clients and the immense power of state and federal prosecutors. Defending a person accused of a crime isn’t a new a concept. From John Adams to Clara Shortridge Foltz to Thurgood Marshall, this country has a legacy of criminal defense attorneys committed to protecting rights, telling the whole story, and ensuring fairness.

With a modern approach to advocacy and a focus on the unique challenges of today’s justice system, we bring fresh, innovative strategies and techniques proven to be effective inside and outside the courtroom.
