Look for Trial Experience
Most criminal cases never go to trial. A good attorney often resolves a case before it gets filed, indicted, or set for trial. However, there is no replacement for knowing how to try a case and having a reputation for doing so effectively.
Messina Madson and Kendall Castello have tried more than 300 cases to a jury with outstanding results. In a high profile case in 2020, Messina represented a former Dallas police officer who was found not guilty after being indicted on a fatal shooting. This level of trial expertise earns the respect of both prosecutors and judges alike.
Look for Highly Personalized Service
Many criminal practices are built on volume. In order to be successful, the attorney must sign up and resolve many cases each month, allowing little time for individual attention.
We take a different approach. As a premier criminal defense boutique, we help fewer clients and deliver exceptional results. If that sounds like what you are looking for, we are an ideal firm.
