Our defense approach is built around careful, detail-driven analysis. We look closely at:

  • Credibility of all parties
  • Text messages, phone logs, and digital communications
  • Video evidence or lack thereof

We use this information to construct a strong, tailored defense aimed at minimizing or eliminating the impact of the charges.
