During my career, I have aggressively represented people with matters ranging from civil hearings to murder in the first degree. I enjoy courtroom work and trials, and work hard to ensure the success of every client’s case. As an aggressive litigator and negotiator, I am very experienced in getting my clients the best results possible.

Q. How much time will a person serve in prison in mo for a 7 sentence on a class D felony.

May 3, 2023

A: The amount of time a person spends in prison is up to the parole board. There are factors that they consider such any mandatory minimums including those for prior remands to prison and for certain types of charges. His behavior in prison including any rules violations or if he takes classes will also have an effect on his parole date as well. At this point no one can say for certain who long he will have to stay.

Q. Can a police officer lie in a probable cause statement to get a warrant issued?

April 17, 2023

A: No they are not allowed to lie to the court. Has it happened before certainly. Did it happen in your case or your friends case? That would take an experienced criminal defense attorney to review the case to determine.
