The best defense is a relentless offense.
Don believes that when a citizen is accused of a crime, the best defense is a relentless offense. Every criminal accusation leveled by the government against a citizen is an attempt to deny that citizen’s right to life, liberty, and happiness. Don sees our duty as more than just counselors and advocates, but as warriors. The only way to truly ensure the best results for our clients is to fight as if every case is going to trial. Don uses fearless, aggressive, and creative tactics to fight for every client with this attitude in mind.
Don has been practicing law for 17 years and has participated in a wide array of state and federal criminal trials and appeals. In addition to representing clients in many serious state criminal matters, Don represents clients in large-scale federal drug conspiracies, complex white-collar fraud cases, cases involving internet crimes, human smuggling, and many other federal crimes, including issues surrounding the First Amendment. Don has fought for clients’ rights in over 200 federal cases.
