| Shareholder / Managing Attorney, DUSTIN STEPHENSON, P.A., Attorney & Counselor at Law | 2009-Current |
| I am a Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney and I focus my practice primarily on the respresentaion of people from all walks of life who have been charged with a crime. I have spent a career building a reputation as a fair, honest, and skilled attorney both in and out of the court room. Having handled matters from civil traffic infractions all the way to life felonies and federal drug trafficking indictments - and most everything in between - I am equally adept at negotiating a successful resolution, arguing legal technicalities in a motion, or presenting your case to a jury. Regardless how serious your situation is, I stand ready to help. | |
| Associate Attorney, Law Office of Jonathan Dingus | 2007-2009 |
| In my time as a criminal defense attorney in private practice, I have taken the skills learned through prosecuting in the courtroom and applied them to helping people who have been accused of a crime. I have defended people accused of all sorts of criminal violations ranging from minor infractions to life felonies. | |
| Assistant State Attorney, State Attorney's Office - 14th Judicial Circuit | 2000-2007 |
