The work, organized by what’s actually at stake.
DUI is the practice this firm was built around — and where the National College of DUI Defense training matters most. Felony and violent-crime defense are tried, not negotiated from a distance. Drug crimes turn on search and seizure, not the substance. Juvenile defense decides what the next ten years look like.

You speak to Richard.
Not a screener, not an intake coordinator, not the partner’s third associate. The first conversation is with the lawyer who will try the case if it goes to trial.
Honest assessment, fees up front.
What the case looks like. What it costs. What the realistic outcomes are. Stated plainly at the first meeting, before any engagement. No surprise charges later.
Trial-ready by default.
Most cases resolve before trial. The ones that resolve well resolve that way because the prosecution knows the defense is prepared to try them. There is no shortcut around that work.
