About Caleb
Biography
I don't believe in "good" or "bad" cases. I believe in getting my clients the best result, no matter the circumstances. I have represented hundreds of clients in state and federal court, some were charged with the most serious crimes imaginable. I have fought for every one of them. Whether you are charged with a crime, fighting your case on appeal, or have been the victim of police or government misconduct, I can help you.
