Safeguarding Your Rights & Strategizing Your Defense

While it is natural to want to cooperate with law enforcement officers and talk with them, too many defendants harm their own defense by giving statements or information to police, consenting to warrantless searches, or simply waiving their rights to a jury trial. Discussing your case with a lawyer before you speak with law enforcement is highly recommended.

You need an experienced trial lawyer like John Schwulst or Todd Roseberry, who can provide a true defense for you. They have prevailed at trial and know how to position you for the best possible outcome given the facts of your case. Our legal team will work to get your charges dismissed or downgraded and aggressively challenge the state’s case at every step of the process.
