If you have suffered a serious injury through no fault of your own, you may be entitled to compensation for your economic losses as well as compensation for your pain and suffering. You will need the help of an experienced attorney to guide you through the settlement process to assure that you collect what you deserve. Sometimes, the person or people responsible for your injury will not reasonably offer to compensate your losses. In those situations, you will need to make sure your attorney is willing to take your case to trial and fight for you. I am trial tested and willing to see your case through to the end.

While I have known Mr. Venneman personally for more than a decade and would be honored to attest to his character as an individual, I think it is far more important to speak from my standpoint as a criminal defense attorney dealing with him in his former capacity as a prosecuting attorney. Over the course of representing hundreds, if not thousands, of criminal defendants, I oftentimes dealt with prosecutors who were more intent on obtaining convictions than justice. Mr. Venneman, however, was always incredibly fair, honest, and professional, and it is encouraging for the entire criminal defense bar to have such an individual now fighting relentlessly for the justice of criminal defendants. Mr. Venneman has the entire package - knowledge, skill, work ethic, and compassion - that so few other criminal defense lawyers have, and this explains how he has such a great record of results for and satisfaction by his clients.
