A Knowledgeable and Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer

Mark Coleman, a prominent Fresno criminal defense lawyer, has more than 35 years of experience. He has handled cases ranging in seriousness from minor in possession of alcohol to double homicides; or white collar allegations as simple as lying on a DMV application to multimillion dollar development fraud cases. Chances are if you have been accused of a crime, he has handled a similar case. He has practiced criminal defense in jurisdictions across the United States and even in foreign countries.

Because of the complexities of criminal defense and criminal law in general, an attorney’s level of experience is a crucial factor in developing the best approach to your case. Through each of the over 100 cases that he has tried as a criminal defense attorney (and an innumerable number of hearings, court appearances, and meetings with prosecutors), he has gained valuable experience and knowledge, which he will call on to build a tactical strategy for his clients.

Law is as much an art as a science. Only through experience does an attorney learn how to work the law together with the facts; and get the skills and knowledge necessary to make sure he has achieved the best possible outcome for his client. It is this experience that could mean the difference between facing a conviction or going on to lead a life conviction free.

Of course, not every case can be won. It is an experienced criminal defense attorney's job to reach the best possible outcome.

When you're in need of legal help, you deserve a lawyer who will fight for justice and protect your rights. I'm that lawyer.
