Most criminal prosecutions are resolved prior to trial. However, sometimes a trial is the only way for a  defendant  to receive justice. Either way, it is important to have a skilled and experienced litigator by your side as  pre-trial  matters  such  as  motion  hearing preliminary examinations, probable cause hearings, evidentiary hearings, and other judicial determinations can impact subsequent plea negotiations or trial.  Attorney  Stout excels  both in and out of the courtroom.
