Practice Area
Criminal Defense
State and federal charges. From arraignment to acquittal — complete representation with no shortcuts.
When You're Charged, the Clock Starts Immediately
From the moment of your arrest, the prosecution is building a case against you. Evidence is collected, witnesses are interviewed, and decisions are made — decisions that will affect the rest of your life. You need an attorney in your corner before any of those decisions get locked in.
At Harrington Law, criminal defense isn't a practice area — it's a calling. I spent six years on the prosecution side of the table. I know how they build cases, where they cut corners, and exactly how to dismantle what they've built.
What We Handle
Defense Strategy: Built Around Your Facts
No two cases are alike. Before we discuss strategy, I personally review every piece of evidence — police reports, witness statements, surveillance footage, forensic results. I look for constitutional violations in how evidence was obtained, inconsistencies in the prosecution's timeline, and weaknesses in their witness testimony.
Where I find them, I exploit them. Where the case has to go to trial, I am ready. I have tried more than 80 cases to verdict. I know how to talk to juries — and I know how to make the prosecution regret bringing a weak case to court.
Know Your Rights
- Right to remain silent. Exercise it. Do not speak to police without your attorney present.
- Right to an attorney. Invoke it clearly: "I want my attorney." Then stop talking.
- Right against unreasonable search and seizure. Evidence obtained illegally may be suppressed.
- Right to a fair and speedy trial. The prosecution must meet their deadlines — we hold them to it.
