We’re all people.

A struggling addict who sincerely wanted to get help - who sought treatment, got a job, repaired his relationship with his family, and impressed the prosecutor into offering a very lenient plea deal.

A multi-time DWI offender who admitted to his struggles with alcoholism, went and received and then actually DID the treatment, and who is now living years sober and credits his arrest and conviction with saving his family and his life.

These are real people, and these are the types of situations that criminal defense attorneys get to deal with on a daily basis. After years of practice, it becomes clear that the invididuals we are privileged to defend are first and foremost PEOPLE - often people who made a mistake, made some wrong turns - but are nonetheless redeemable and worth caring about.

If you are looking for help for an addiction, or seeking an attorney because you’re facing prison time related to an addiction - be sure to ask any lawyer you interview about their understanding of treatment courts, diversion programs, and other potentially life-changing alternative dispositions.
