They kept showing up and proved his innocence.
Would definitely work with Mr. Purtzer and his team again if ever necessary again; hopefully it isn't, but definitely our first choice. They dealt with an extremely difficult client with patience and communicated with us every step of the process and his court case. Any other attorney would have quit; they kept showing up and proved his innocence. Will never be able to thank them enough.

I've Never Been Disappointed
One of the best law firms I have ever been represented by. I have used Hester Law Group for multiple situations dating back over a decade and they've never let me down. There were times the outlook was grim, the prosecution was adamant, and these guys postured themselves and defended justice with ease. I have never been disappointed with our final resolution and more times than not have received an outcome far greater than one would think possible. When looking for a solid attorney, look no further: Lance Hester is a solid man and outstanding attorney.

Not LiableAssault
Wayne Fricke defended a client in a civil case who was accused of punching a fellow consumer at an area Safeway Supermarket. After several days of trial, the jury came back with a quick verdict in his client's favor.
Case DismissedCase Dismissed
Attorney Wayne Fricke, again, convinced the prosecution to dismiss charges against his client, which would have ended up in him spending the rest of his life in prison, had he been convicted. This was no easy task, but due to his independent investigation and legal motions to the court, he was successful in obtaining medical records and multiple interviews of one of the complaining witnesses, including an in court deposition with the judge present to order her to answer the questions that were asked. Normally, an attorney is entitled to a single interview, but because of the uncooperative witness and his determination to seek justice, he secured five interviews. Based on all of this, and his advocacy on behalf of his client, the prosecution agreed to dismiss the case “in the interests of justice”.

When should I contact a defense attorney?
Contact a defense attorney as soon as you are aware of an investigation or charges against you. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better they can prepare your defense. Early involvement also helps protect your rights during investigations and hearings.
What happens during a criminal trial?
During a criminal trial, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence and arguments. It involves jury selection, opening statements, witness testimonies, cross-examinations, closing arguments, and jury deliberation. The verdict is delivered based on the evidence presented. Our team will guide you through every step of the process.
What are my rights if I am arrested?
If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is important to clearly state your desire for legal counsel and to refrain from answering questions without an attorney present. These rights are designed to protect you during legal proceedings.
