"The best thing we can do for a client is to get their case dismissed before an indictment or accusation is ever drafted by the prosecutor," explains Ms. Strickler. "If we can succeed in resolving the matter early, we can save the client the pain and stress of having to appear in court under the cloud of indictment or accusation. The teamwork approach at Conaway & Strickler, PC, helps to make this possible."
