Special Priorities

We realize every case is important to all the parties involved. The victim, naturally, feels wronged and abused, to whatever degree. If the penalty for the wrong provides for a possible loss of freedom, you can be sure the case is important to the person charged.

There are, however, some types of cases that require unique skills to interview victims and witnesses, properly prepare evidence to present to the court, and a knowledge of what are and are not appropriate sanctions to seek, if a conviction is obtained.

In addition to developing special skills and knowledge, members of our staff, including our victim and witness advocates as well as our attorneys, have established special relationships with the police department, child advocacy center, STARR Center and Domestic Violence Center.
