For over a decade, Jonathan Landers has been helping his clients navigate their way through, and out of, the criminal justice system.  Jonathan focuses on criminal law, and understands that each case is unique and requires its own approach.  Regardless of where your case is in the criminal justice system, from initial investigations to trials and appeals, Jonathan is here to help you solve your problems.

My law firm focuses on all facets of criminal defense in both state and federal court.  My firm’s ethos is simple: always know more about the facts and the law than the opponent.  Each case begins with a vigorous investigation using the tools available to me to uncover all relevant information.  The facts must then be viewed through the lens of the law to establish the most comprehensive defense for your particular case.  I believe that each of my clients deserves my best effort, and by limiting the number of cases I accept, I am able to ensure that each client gets what they deserve.
