Making a Difference for Every Client

Over 7,000 Cases Handled

Our team has more than empty book knowledge. Founding attorneys Jeff Thomas and Jeff Council Paulk have personally handled over 7,000 criminal cases and have vast hands-on experience. For our clients, this means no surprises. 

Our criminal defense lawyers are fully aware of what you are facing, we have a strategy to beat your charges, and we will fight tirelessly for the best possible result.

We Know Both Sides of Criminal Proceedings

Both of our defense attorneys started their careers in the district attorney’s office, which taught them everything they needed to know about the strategies used by prosecutors.  But, they sought change. They wanted to spend their lives defending people, not accusing them. 

Now, our team uses their prosecutorial experience where it matters most: to defend clients' rights and interests in court.
