Why choose James Dirmann as your attorney?

Clearly a successful criminal defense requires a lawyer who is prepared to fight for you all the way through a jury trial.  Your lawyer should have special skill, knowledge, and experience in criminal law and criminal defense.  He must also possess a winning attitude.  A winning attitude starts with a belief that the case can be won and then taking all of the legal steps to bring about that reality.  As you can see from noteworthy cases, this winning attitude starts with a complete investigation of the facts, admissible evidence, and the law that applies to your case.  It means trying to find witnesses when there appear to be none, it means going over and over the statements of witnesses to find the admissions or conflicts that help your case, and it means thinking outside the box and using a new or different paradigm.  Ultimately, this winning attitude establishes a special bond of trust and confidence between the lawyer and client.  This winning attitude and special bond are very powerful.  If you don’t have it, the case is very difficult to win.  With a winning attitude, the lawyer and client can project the confidence and certainty needed to persuade a jury to accept the client’s theory of the case. 

Mr. Dirmann’s vast experience and years of battling for his clients in the courtroom are available to help you with any criminal defense or civil case in either state or federal court.
