Sometimes the most dangerous folks in the world are those with good intentions. Having handled these cases, I can tell you that it is a daunting challenge when a doctor and the government team up to say a parent has abused a child. The last 2 of these cases I handled fell apart upon scrutiny of the “medical proof”. But I cringe thinking about those facing this without the resources or knowledge of how to challenge a horrible allegation.

On February 10, 2011, I started my own law firm. I had 2 cases and a lot of doubts. But I had the support of my wife Mary Etta Jones Carner and family. And I had two great friends and mentors, Cliff Johnson and Brad Pigott, who let me use some office space rent-free so I could get on my feet. I didn’t know how long it would last but here we are 10 years later. I even got pretty quickly to where I could pay rent. Many thanks to everyone who has supported me, including great clients that it is my pleasure to serve.

I spent all of last week defending a young man against a serious felony charge. I’m pleased to report that the jury rendered a unanimous NOT GUILTY verdict on Friday and my client was able to return to his loved ones and his job. If you or family member or friend are facing any kind of criminal charge, please contact me.
