An American Epidemic
Wrongful convictions and exonerations are rising across the U.S.
Find out what's causing this disturbing trend and what can be done to stop it.
It's The Beginning
Interview following capital murder dismissal in State v C.B.
If you or a loved one have recently been arrested or are being investigated for a crime, odds are you're feeling stressed, anxious and scared. The uncertainty of what to do next when you've been accused of a criminal offense can be paralyzing - at a time when it is imperative you take immediate action.
First and foremost, it's important to remember that your case is far from over if you are arrested. The prosecution still has to build a convincing case against you and establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. During this time, you should be meeting with your defense lawyer regularly to plan your legal defense. Doing so gives you the best possible shot at overcoming this huge obstacle in your life and moving on.
The stakes couldn't be higher than when you face a criminal charge, which is why you should be wise in selecting a criminal defense attorney with the right experience, knowledge and background in resolving cases just like yours.
"Thank you very much, Neal. As I awaken this morning, everything was different. Even the annoying chirpy birds presented beautiful music into my ears! Life is different and normal again! Thank you so much for BEING YOU! It wasn't about your job! It was about your empathy, professionalism, kindness and generosity to me during the ‘darkest' moment of my life! You held me above my grave, Neal. And for that, I'm forever and eternally grateful!"

A Criminal Defense Lawyer You Can Trust
"I highly recommend Neal to anyone in need of an experienced, knowledgeable, confident, caring and compassionate attorney. We loved that he was honest since day one and did not sugarcoat a thing. Just really straightforward on everything. AMAZING is an understatement! This law firm is very diligent, hardworking and honest. He actually stays in touch with you (the client) to keep you well informed on your case. The case was closed under 6 months. A case we thought was going to take longer to resolve. Neal made us feel extremely important as our case was his one and only case. He was available at any time. We called, he would answer. His receptionist is also awesome – not once failed to pass on a message and we would actually have a call back as soon as possible. If for any reason he was in a meeting, Neal would actually step out of the meeting and call me back that moment. Not once did we have to speak to an assistant. We loved the fact that it was just direct communication to him. I really do believe our case would have been lost if he hadn't been our attorney. Thank you very much, Neal Davis!"
