Achieving a dismissal for a client is especially rewarding for several reasons. First, the client can move on with his life. Second, in many cases we will get the charge expunged. Third, we love the smile on their faces. Such was the case with this client. DISMISSAL! ...

This affable, hard-working young man was facing ten years in prison. However, we felt emphatically he didn’t deserve to be imprisoned or a convicted felon. He comes from a great and supportive family. He has a good heart and soul. We were determined to prevent him from carrying the burden of his charges for the rest of his life. Fortunately, God gave us favor and a fair prosecutor. RESULTS: CASES DISMISSED! ...

Criminal Defense Lawyers Making A Real Difference If we criminal defense lawyers only show up to make money from our client's misery, we're similar to buzzards. At least, that's what many in the public think of us. The comparison to buzzards is unfair, but let's use it to motivate us to do more. I have a few ideas for the motivated. All races of people get involved in criminality. Crime is not a function of one's race but of other factors, including poverty, equal opportunity, racial profiling, failing schools, broken families, and more. And for all these reasons, African American and Hispanic...

They charged you with murder, but someone else pulled the trigger https://vimeo.com/355529573 Felony murder is one of the toughest laws on the books. Its consequences can be very severe for the unsuspecting. It can leap out of nowhere and trap its victims for many years to come. https://vimeo.com/acorbett/review/355529573/14d9566a11 ...

Recently, my family experienced a gross injustice that has made us even more determined to fight racial profiling, police misconduct and the mistreatment of the accused. I cannot provide details now because this matter is in the court system. But what I will say is we aren’t deterred or defeated. We’re committed Christ followers, activists and we will fight back vigorously. The experience was just what my family needed to double down against injustice. ...

[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text] We heard you. Recently, we conducted a survey that asked people what they wanted if they were injured in a truck accident. We got great feedback. We’ll use this feedback to get better and better as a law firm. According to our survey, there are four main things you want from your lawyer. Let’s review what you told us: 1.    SPEEDY YET GREAT FINANCIAL COMPENSATION First, a majority said you want great financial compensation for your injuries, and you want it fast. We understand this desire since the accident caused you lots of pain, medical bills, credit damage, lost wages, mental anguish, and often...

These lawyers had very different personalities, but there’s something they shared: they were skilled, smart trial lawyers. Hollywood embellished the trial process, but lawyers during that era were trial lawyers first. Lawyers were expected to know how to try cases well for their clients. The legal profession has changed dramatically. Many lawyers never see the inside of a courtroom. They can practice law from their offices and...

[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text] Sharing The Road Safely With Large Trucks 4,761 Americans died in crashes involving large trucks in 2017.[1]Most of these fatalities were avoidable and needless deaths. Negligent or reckless drivers caused most of them. Every year the National Highway Transportation Safety Authority (NHTSA) publishes a report about specific facts regarding 18-wheeler accidents. The report enhances safety. Our firm reviews and uses the report to make safety suggestions. We’d rather not see another person experience such injuries or death although we assist injured persons or their families in seeking justice when accidents occur. The devastation from an 18-wheeler accident can be horrific. Knowledge is...

[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text] Standing With The Accused Bob walked into my office nearly a broken man. Law enforcement had recently charged him with assault family violence and strangulation on his wife. This charge is a third-degree felony that carries up to ten years in prison. Besides the damage to his marriage and family, Bob was also concerned about losing his professional job. He’s an architect at a huge architectural firm. His salary exceeded six figures. A felony conviction would have ruined his career. I learned that Bob is a good man from our investigation. He had no prior record and volunteered in the community. I...
