Abuse of power is wrong. Some of the most egregious abuses are when law enforcement acts unlawfully under the authority of their office. Fortunately, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights guarantee all persons in this country protection from government misconduct.<\/p>\n

The right to be free from excessive force, the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizure, and the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment are fundamental rights protected by law. Jack fights to protect these rights in court.<\/p>\n

Jack represents victims of police brutality, wrongful arrest, wrongful confinement, suppression of free speech and the victims of taserings and police shootings.<\/p>\n

Jack’s Story<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”I know first hand that our right to a criminal defense and the defense of our constitutional rights are fundamental…” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

I know first hand that our right to a criminal defense and the defense of our constitutional rights are fundamental.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been wrongfully arrested, while actively representing a client. A Deputy threatened to arrest me if I didn\u2019t turn my client over to him immediately. I told him he was wrong on the law, and I was going to protect my client.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He drove to my home, scared my family, and searched my office. The next day he wrongfully arrested and jailed me. I got the bogus charges dismissed. Then I went after the Deputy and other wrongdoers with a civil lawsuit, and made sure justice was done.<\/p>\n

My freedom, career, and family were put on the line. But I would do it all over again to help my clients.<\/span>\u00a0I am absolutely passionate about every person’s right to a criminal defense and the defense of their constitutional and civil rights.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve harnessed that passion and that experience into relentlessly fighting for people who have had the power of the State wrongfully turned upon them.<\/p>\n
