America's founding fathers designed our justice system to protect average citizens from governmental oppression. Enforcing and protecting your rights is not a cliché. If the government does not play by the rules, it should be taken to task within the bounds of the law. A criminal defense attorney uses legal skills and the process of law to protect individuals from the overwhelming power of the government. Without a knowledgeable and effective criminal defense lawyer on your side, your future can be taken from you by improper procedure or illegal procedure. Innocent people end up in jail much more frequently than our system likes to admit. Here is the story of one example. Don't let it happen to you.

We take the time to explain the charges you are facing, the steps in the legal process, and the likely outcome of your case — based on attorney Chris Klotz's 15 years of experience in criminal defense. We will establish your priorities, outline your options and give you the information you need to make informed decisions about your case.
