CHRIS LEWIS, PARTNER: People are arrested all the times of the day and night. No one ever really plans on being arrested. I think it's important, and something that we do is we make ourselves available twenty-four hours a day. People can call our office at any time of the day or night and they're going to have a live person that answers the telephone, that takes down their information and that gets word to one of the attorneys as soon as possible.

I realize that whenever people come and they talk to me that they're in a position they didn't expect to be in and they're scared, and they want their life just to be back to normal, and I care about that. I don't care about a case just being brought to a conclusion. I really want the best outcome for my clients.

Prior to becoming a criminal defense lawyer and right out of law school, I prosecuted for several years. What being a prosecutor allowed me to do was it exposed me to a wide variety of cases. It also had me in the courtroom every single day trying cases. I know how prosecutors are going to think. I know how they're going to approach a case. I know what they're going to do in trial, and knowing those things helps me better represent my clients.
