Criminal Defense Attorney in Grand Island

Your Dedicated Advocates When Charged with Crimes in Hall County and Across Central Nebraska

A fundamental principle of the American Justice system is the presumption of innocence until proven guilty. Yet, when you or someone you care about faces criminal accusations, it can often feel like the system is biased against you. Law enforcement and prosecutors sometimes assume your guilt before you even have a chance to present your side of the story in court. This raises the question: "If I'm presumed innocent, why does the system treat me like a criminal?"
