If you find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney this is the man you want in your corner

You never want to be in a position of needing a criminal defense attorney. But if you are facing criminal charges the most important step you can take is to obtain the services of an experienced criminal attorney. We had a family member facing serious charges and it became apparent very quickly th...at we needed an attorney who knew how to navigate the system, was willing to explain the process and communicate on a regular basis. William Morris of Brown & Little LLC provided that for our family. From the beginning William was straight forward and honest with us. He clearly explained each step of the process and the potential outcomes. William communicated regularly and always returned calls in a timely manner. It was obvious that William cared about the safety of our family member and did everything in his power to make sure that while he was in custody he was protected and ultimately was able to get the bond reduced to a manageable amount. William was diligent in reviewing all the information collected during the discovery phase. As a result he identified some key process failures and evidentiary gaps that ultimately gave him the leverage needed to negotiate a significantly improved plea agreement. Witnessing the ease in which William interacts with the prosecutors, Judges and clerks of the court it is obvious he has a reputation that commands respect. At one point in the sentencing the ADA was recommending leniency and citing mitigating factors to the judge. His professionalism, integrity, humanity and understanding were beyond what I could ever hope for. You can tell William is an attorney who actually cares about his client and is not just in it for the money. If you find yourself in need of a criminal defense attorney this is the man you want in your corner.
