A first-day internship at the Greene County Prosecutor’s Office put one of our attorneys in a jury trial courtroom before the week was out. That experience didn’t just shape a career — it redirected one.
Today, that prosecutor’s perspective informs every criminal defense case handled at Cole & Martin Attorneys at Law, LLC. The focus stays on understanding the person behind the charge: their concerns, their circumstances, and the path forward.
Meet one of the attorneys clients turn to when they need clear, honest guidance through the criminal justice system.
A People-First Approach to Criminal Defense
Criminal charges come with urgent questions, unfamiliar procedures, and stakes that can feel overwhelming. Our attorney approaches those conversations with a straightforward belief: every client deserves to be heard, not reduced to an allegation or a case number.
In describing the approach to client relationships, the attorney puts it simply: “I’m a relationship guy.” That means taking time to understand a client’s story and goals, and giving candid, practical information about what the legal process actually involves — not just what the client hopes to hear.
What the Other Side of the Courtroom Teaches You
After graduating from the University of Missouri School of Law, this attorney began a career at the prosecutor’s office — learning firsthand how the state builds a case, what it looks for, and where cases can be challenged. At Cole & Martin Attorneys at Law, LLC, we draw directly on that experience to help clients understand what each stage of their case may involve, answer questions honestly, and make informed decisions about their options.
A Team That Works Together When It Matters Most
Our attorneys and staff work closely together so clients are never left waiting for answers or wondering where their case stands. This attorney has worked alongside a law partner since 2014, building a professional relationship grounded in communication and shared purpose. Clients benefit from that kind of cohesion — a team that takes their concerns seriously and treats them with respect, not just their lead attorney.
