Why You Should Hire Me

I have been practicing only criminal defense law for 15 years.

I devise sentencing programs based upon my client's needs, often averting future legal consequences.

I provide my client with a realistic and objective picture of "plea bargain" vs. trial.

I am familiar with the local court customs and have experience with all the prosecutors.

I understand all the "hidden costs" of pleading guilty when representing oneself.

I often hire investigators to help with cases.

Testimonials

Compassion

I have had issues with drugs my whole life. Recently, I was arrested for possession and intent to distribute. Not only did Mr. Travis get my charges reduced, but he also met with my family and played an instrumental role in convincing me that I needed to go into rehab. I can't thank him enough for helping me get my life back.

Honesty

Mr. Travis did not exaggerate the chances I had to win my case. I was charged with sexual assault, and we had the chance to make a plea bargain. He advised me to take the plea bargain instead of going to trial, which would have been more monetarily beneficial to him. The results of the plea bargain were optimal. He followed through with his promise to meet with my probation officer in order to discuss my progress, even after I had paid his fee.
