Tough Cases, Proven Results
"They said we had no shot... Jury said NOT GUILTY in under an hour."
No matter the accusation - assaults, weapons, sex crimes, DWI, you name it - I’ve walked clients out of courtrooms that the system wanted to swallow whole.
I’m John.
Trial attorney. Advocate. Fighter.
I honed my skills as a fearless public defender who never said no to a case, never left a client in trouble, and never backed down in the face of pressure.
I have over a decade’s experience in criminal defense and a formidable record of winning against the odds. Whether by exposing weak evidence, flipping a case’s narrative, or simply dominating ineffective prosecution, I’ve consistently produced wins for my clients.
If you think you’re at a dead end, let me reassure you: you aren’t.
Let’s find a way together.
My Approach
-
Analysis and Strategy
From day one, I dig deep into the facts, timelines, and legal vulnerabilities. We identify police missteps, prosecutorial overreach, and what evidence may or may not hold up. You tell me your values and desires, I tell you how we get there. No cookie-cutter lawyering here - only experience-guided strategy tailored for each unique case and client.
-
Negotiation
Pre-trial, I work diligently for my clients to avoid a criminal record or jail sentence. Whether it’s through motion practice, our own investigation, or mitigation efforts, we pull all possible strategic levers to shift the pressure back onto the prosecution. From a position of strength, I hold thorough discussions with the prosecution in order to obtain a dismissal or other favorable resolution.
-
Zealous Trial Advocacy
If your case needs to go all the way, I bring the firepower. Using my extensive experience in jury selection, cross-examination of witnesses of all stripes, and meticulously crafted, performative oral arguments, my clients only face juries well-armed with a ferocious advocate battling for them every step of the way.

Forcefully defending your right to defend yourself — with smart, facts-first legal counterpunches.

Firearms
Gun charges? I defend possession, trafficking, and use allegations with 4th Amendment precision.

DWI & Traffic Violations
From minor infractions to high-stakes arrests, I’ve beaten charges where the evidence once looked ironclad. If you’ve been pulled over, call before you plead.

Domestic Violence
Defending against volatile claims of abuse, harassment, or threats — with sensitivity and strategic power.

Accusations of sexual violence can carry heavy stigma and heavier penalties without a dogged defense - I expose the flaws, bias, and inconsistencies to change the narrative.

Accused of violating court orders? I help minimize or dismiss charges and restore your legal footing.

Online accusations are serious — I bring technical insight and legal experience to challenge every byte.
-
Suppression
Police crossed the line? I file, argue, and win suppression motions that gut the prosecution’s case.

No one should sit in jail just for being accused. I fight for your release — fast.

Convicted doesn’t mean defeated. If errors were made, rights were violated, or justice wasn’t served, I’ll help you challenge the outcome and keep hope alive.
THIS IS MORE THAN
A SPEEDING TICKET.
You’re facing a serious threat to your freedom, your career, and potentially even your family — your entire future may be at stake.
Police don’t care about your story. Prosecutors are already charging you. Time is not on your side.
But I am.
I’ve beaten charges from DWI to attempted murder. I’ve turned potential life sentences into time already served. And I’ve done it for people just like you — Scared. Confused. Outnumbered. But never outmatched.
When Everything's on the Line, You Deserve a Warrior in Your Corner.
Not an empty suit. Not a faceless system.
A compassionate, street-smart trial veteran who knows how to shake the prosecution’s case to its core.
