Jeffrey Stineburg Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Fort Wayne

Experienced trial attorney with 20 years litigating complex drug trafficking, gang, and violent crime cases. In April of 2020, I joined the firm of Arnold Terrill, P.C., with the desire to put my extensive trial and litigation experience into practice defending those who have been charged with criminal offenses.. However, for 17 years prior to joining Arnold Terrill, P.C., I was employed as the deputy prosecutor in charge of the Vice and Narcotics division of the Allen County Prosecutor's Office. In that role, I oversaw the prosecution of every felony drug, gang and firearm prosecution in Allen County, Indiana--literally thousands of felony cases. During that time, in addition to conducting at least 120 jury trials related to drug and gun prosecution, I also conducted at least 15 murder trials.  In addition to having invaluable trial experience and instincts, I also possess a deep understanding of an individual's consittutional rights--especially those associated with search and seizure, self-incrimination, due process and the right to counsel in criminal prosecutions.  In my position at the Allen County Prosecutor's office, it was my job to oversee thousands of search warrants and to review every felony case for potential violations of the constitutional rights of the citizens of Indiana. As a result of my knowledge in these areas, I refused to file cases in which a police officer clearly violated the constitutional rights of a suspect--either knowingly or inadvertently (most violations are inadvertent).  Due to this policy, during my 17 years overseeing the Vice and Narcotics Division, only a handful of the cases I approved were thrown out as a result of a defense motion to exclude the evidence.. If you should choose me to represent you during this difficult time in your life, I promise to utilize my many years of experience to provide you with the best possible defense that these years of experience can provide.  Thank you for taking the time to consider me, and I look forward to representing you.
