I am an attorney with Newton and Hall, PLLC.– a law firm dedicated solely to criminal defense. Our firm handles complex felony cases to simple misdemeanors. I became a criminal defense attorney because I care about the criminal justice system and people’s rights. Too often the scales of justice are tipped in the favor of a prosecution with seemingly unlimited resources. I believe that a person deserves their day in Court and I want to be there to help them succeed on that day. I strive to support, educate, and advocate for my clients to achieve the greatest possible outcome in any case.
