Today on my way back from handling Spotsylvania reckless driving tickets, I stopped by the McDonald’s drive-through for a quick bite to eat. I ordered a Big Mac. The drive-through guy did a great job of promoting a $1 drink, so I took one of those too. I grabbed my ordered and headed to my [...]

What does it mean to be a traffic and criminal defense lawyer? My job is to defend you tooth and nail. You are my one and only responsibility. I have to fight as hard as I can to get your case dismissed. PERIOD! Even if the prosecutor does his job and the ticketing officer does [...]

I’m a lawyer. But it’s still difficult to explain how I can help specific people. That’s the purpose of an elevator speech, and mine needs some work. Thanks to this great article from FreelanceSwitch, I’m going to refine it right now. I’m a business lawyer I actually do more than that, but business is my [...]
