Federal & State Criminal Defense

Advocating for the accused citizen.

I have devoted my career to defending people accused of crimes. I have never prosecuted anyone. After practicing as a federal public defender and a state-level public defender, I have experience representing hundreds of clients in criminal matters in both state and federal court.

Whether you’ve been charged with driving while impaired or a sex offense in state court, or a drug offense or white-collar matter in federal court, I’ll stand with you and fight for you during the most difficult moment of your life. I bring extensive experience and professionalism to every case and work as hard as I can to obtain the best outcome for you.

—John Stanford
