These results are from cases since I began my criminal defense practice on January 2, 2008 to April, 2009, not counting cases that were still pending. This information is provided for informational purposes only and is not an indicator as th the outcome of your particular case because the facts of every case are different, the applicable law may be different and the Prosecutors and Judges involved may see each case differently.

You will notice that there are no jury trial results in my criminal defense practice so far. Although I have tried over 100 jury trials to verdict with about a 90% favorable outcome and written over twenty criminal appeals, the decision to take a criminal defense to trial indicates that all other efforts to resolve the case have failed.

There have been a number of cases that would have been worthy of a trial, but the case was either dropped by the state or court prior to the trial or the prosecutor or judge made a favorable offer that my client chose to take instead of the risk of a jury trial. Some of those outcomes are more specifically listed below.
