Vigorously Defended Me to the End
It was a great honor and experience having Mr. Jim McGough and his team working my case. I personally believe Mr. McGough and Mr. Mark Foxall vigorously defended me to the end. The case was difficult and the possibility existed to serve two prison terms, but the thoughtful work of both Jim and Mark meant in the end I only served probation. Again, it was an honor to be represented by these two very competent attorneys.

The best lawyer I have ever talked to
My lawyer was Mr. Foxall. He was by far the best lawyer I have ever talked to, let alone had the chance to work with on my case. He kept me informed every step of the way, and the advice he gave really helped me with the case I was dealing with. He was also straightforward with me and never just told me what I wanted to hear but told me exactly what was going on and what I needed to do. I would recommend him to anyone who is having to deal with a court case. He's professional but also realistic about the situation. He's an amazing lawyer.

Legal Insights for the Accused
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.
What is criminal defense?
Criminal defense is the legal representation provided to individuals or entities charged with criminal conduct. It involves protecting the rights of the accused, negotiating plea deals, and providing guidance through the legal system. Our goal is to ensure the best possible outcome for the client.
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.
Can I represent myself in court?
While you have the right to represent yourself, it is not advisable. Criminal defense is complex and having a skilled attorney increases your chances of a favorable outcome. An experienced defense attorney understands the legal system, can negotiate on your behalf, and will work to protect your rights.
