I’m launching a podcast to discuss criminal defense law, issues in handling cases and the strategies both sides use. I hope you’ll find it informative and even a little entertaining.

Law enforcement has been heavily focused on making drug arrests throughout Central and Eastern Kentucky. A comment in a recent news report about a Richmond drug arrest caught my eye. As a Louisville criminal defense attorney, I spend a tremendous amount of time reviewing evidence. Part of the reason is to figure out what the […]
A man died from multiple gunshot wounds in July. The alleged shooter was indicted by a Grand Jury for the murder. Interestingly, the defendant was also connected to a 2018 murder and robbery.
