Why Should You Hire the Ambrose Law Group?

Not all law firms are the same! Where most Criminal Defense Attorneys work alone, the Ambrose Law Group has a staff of trial lawyers to investigate, prepare, and defend you at trial! The lawyers of the Ambrose Law Group are graduates of the National Criminal Defense College, The Western Trial Advocacy Institute, and Gerry Spence's Trial Lawyer's College.

We engage in full discovery in every case. We can’t advise you on the best course of action in your case until we know everything about it. When we are hired, we immediately demand the police reports, all video and audio recordings, and booking videos before the police have an opportunity to destroy them. Only after having reviewed the police reports and videos can we advise you on how to best resolve your case.

You may have defenses that other lawyers will not find for you. You should not simply walk into court and plead guilty without first having your case evaluated by a skilled, knowledgeable and trial-tested lawyer. Not all cases are defendable, but all situations are explainable. It only makes sense to know all of your options before making a decision that will affect the rest of your life.
