​Ryan defended a military veteran facing prison time for brandishing his firearm in self defense. The accusers lied and said he pointed it at them. Ryan did not give up and eventually the entire case was dismissed. In another case, Ryan prevailed at the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals (this is rare!) on an issue concerning the Sixth Amendment right to a fair and impartial jury, in particular a jury free of racial bias. Read the opinion.

​Maggie recently won a Harassment Restraining Order case on behalf of a client where the judge was presiding over competing HRO petitions. Maggie's hard work and diligent preparation allowed her client's story to be heard and the truth prevail! The client had suffered ongoing harassment, including very damaging public posts on social media. Ultimately, the petition against Maggie's client was dismissed, and the court granted the client's petition against the person harassing him.

​Marie won a controlled substance DUI case for a client by convincing a prosecutor of her client's innocence. Marie gathered volumes of the client's medical records, scrutinized the government's police video, police reports, and lab results, and then filed strategic defenses on behalf of her client. Marie presented a convincing case against the allegations and the prosecutor agreed. Case dismissed!
