Experienced Criminal Defense Attorney
When defending against criminal charges, whether they are felony murder charges or something more commonplace, choosing the right lawyer is a crucial step in your defense. Too much is at stake to take this decision lightly: jail or prison time, fines, loss of work and loss of your reputation and credibility for future employers, to name a few. Make sure that your attorney has handled cases like yours before, because your lawyer is your go-between, the bridge between you and the court.

During that time, attorney Bishop learned the criminal justice system thoroughly, including the law and procedures.
