We depose the arresting officer before discovery closes.
Most defense attorneys wait for the prosecution to hand over their materials. We move before that window shuts — deposing officers while their memory is fresh, their inconsistencies unpolished, and their reports not yet aligned with the narrative the DA will build.
In three federal cases in 2024, pre-discovery depositions revealed timeline discrepancies that prosecutors had not yet reconciled — each resulting in suppressed evidence.

through forensic accounting review and expert witness preparation in 2023–2025.
We read every document in the financial record before the first hearing.
White-collar prosecutions are built on paper. Wire transfer logs, email chains, accounting records — the government has months to build a story from that data. We spend the same time finding the gaps: the transaction they mischaracterized, the email they quoted out of context, the expert whose methodology doesn't survive scrutiny.
In fraud and embezzlement cases, the prosecution's narrative almost always collapses at a single document. Our job is to find it first.
A DUI becomes a felony in four specific ways. We close all four doors.
Prior conviction timing, BAC threshold at the moment of test (not arrest), whether a minor was present, and whether the stop itself was constitutionally valid. Most DUI defense addresses one or two of these. We address all four simultaneously, filing independently on each ground so that even if one fails, the others survive.
Field sobriety tests have a 23% false positive rate under NHTSA's own data. We retain toxicologists who have testified against the government's test protocols in federal court.

Arraignment dates are set. Discovery windows close. The sooner we begin, the more procedural ground we hold.
successful suppression motions in drug cases, 2024
resulting in full dismissal in 11 of those cases before trial.
The search that found the evidence may have been illegal. That ends the case.
Fourth Amendment suppression is the most powerful tool in a criminal defense attorney's arsenal — and the most underused. We examine every step: the initial stop, the basis for the search, the warrant application language, the chain of custody from seizure to evidence log. One procedural failure anywhere in that chain can make the prosecution's entire physical case disappear.
In 2024, we filed successful suppression motions in 14 drug cases where the search warrant affidavit contained materially false statements under Franks v. Delaware.
We know this judge's reversal rate. We know this prosecutor's trial history.
Courtroom preparation is institutional knowledge, not improvisation. We track every ruling our assigned judges have made on suppression, on expert testimony, on jury instructions. We know which prosecutors overcharge and which ones fold under cross. That intelligence shapes every motion we file, every witness we call, every question we ask.
Our trial preparation process includes mock cross-examination of every key witness using the actual prosecutor's documented questioning style from prior cases.

average years below guideline sentencing
achieved through departure motions and plea architecture in cases where conviction was unavoidable.
When we negotiate a plea, the sentence is designed before the agreement is signed.
Plea negotiations are not about accepting what the government offers — they are about engineering an outcome. We enter every negotiation knowing the sentencing guidelines, the judge's departure history, the prosecutor's case strength, and the alternative charges available. The plea we accept is the one that positions our client for the shortest possible exposure, the least collateral damage to professional licenses, and the cleanest path to expungement.
For professionals — physicians, attorneys, executives, licensed contractors — we negotiate simultaneously with the DA and the relevant licensing board to prevent automatic disqualification.
