“I am not a “high volume” (large caseload) type of criminal defense attorney. I select criminal cases that are particularly interesting to me. And I especially prefer those cases where the accused appears to have suffered an injustice. I am very passionate about protecting the legal rights of my clients…and forcing the all-powerful government to prove its “case” - fairly, and beyond a reasonable doubt. This requires hard work, a lot of time, and effective communication with my clients. I carefully research and investigate the legal and factual issues existing in my cases. My 23 years of FBI Special Agent training and experience greatly assist me in my case-related analysis. I am prepared and committed to represent the accused in serious, complicated criminal cases.”
The courts in Warrick County
Three trial courts
Warrick County has three trial courts: Warrick Circuit Court, Warrick Superior Court No. 1, Warrick Superior Court No. 2. They sit in Boonville, at Warrick County Judicial Center, One County Square, Boonville, IN 47601, and the county belongs to Indiana's Judicial District 26.
Each of the three is a court of general jurisdiction, so the level of your charge does not tell you which one will hear it. There are two exceptions the county states outright: juvenile delinquency cases are fixed to the Circuit Court, and the county's Drunk Driving/Drug Court is presided over by Superior Court No. 1.
