OF COUNSEL

JAMES R. DOERR

PRACTICE AREAS

Those encountering the criminal justice system often face a daunting and sometimes terrifying undertaking. My goal is to minimize the impact that the criminal justice system will have upon my client’s interests. Our American Constitution provides the framework for protecting our individual freedoms. Our rights are exercised and protected in the judicial process by the zealous advocacy of the criminal defense attorney. I draw upon over two decades of courtroom experience in this endeavor.
