You Want an Experienced Attorney
When you are facing years in jail because someone accused you of breaking the law, you want a lawyer whose focus is criminal law. That is what I do – that is all that I do. Since 1994, I have represented hundreds of individuals in DC Superior Court and US District Court who were charged with breaking the law. That is my focus. If you retain me to represent you, you will be my focus. How to defend someone can’t be learned by watching a video or depending on Al. It is only through experience.
My experience is in the courtroom.
Every day. Every week. For over 30 years.
If your lawyer is lost in the courtroom, can’t tell you how the US Attorney’s Office will respond to an argument, can’t tell you how a particular judge will react to a motion, and what you need to turn a losing case into a winning case, then you need a new lawyer.
Don’t let your lawyer use your case as a teachable moment – for him.
During the past few years, I have represented individuals on charges ranging from MS-13 gang conspiracies with multiple homicides, to aggravated assault, to distribution of narcotics and to domestic violence assaults. Experience counts.
After a five week federal conspiracy trial, I was the only individual accused of money laundering to be found not guilty.
I was charged with driving under the influence and operating while impaired. Although I had prior convictions, Mr. Cooper was able to convince the government to treat me as a first time offender, allowing me to avoid a certain jail sentence.
The government charged me with six criminal offenses for accidentally shooting my friend. I could have gone to jail for 40 years and was facing thousands of dollars in fines and penalties. After a lengthy trial, Mr. Cooper convinced the jury that I was innocent and I walked out a free man.
Although the prosecutor had four police officers testify against me, Mr. Cooper’s skillful questioning of the police officers and the testimony of my own three witnesses convinced the judge that I was the victim of an illegal search. All charges were dismissed.
