Carter Hillstrom) is a Florida Bar board certified criminal trial specialist, and a former prosecutor and journalist. When good people find themselves in bad legal situations, Carter is committed to helping those people keep their liberties and reputation intact.. We take a “crisis management” approach to criminal law, utilizing Carter’s extensive criminal law and public relations background to help ordinary people accused by the government of wrongdoing. We approach each case on two fronts: ensuring our clients’ constitutional rights and freedoms are protected, and portraying clients in the best possible light to judges, prosecutors and juries. We hold the government to its obligation to prove a client’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, but also recognize the possibility that clients may someday find themselves at the mercy of the court. This two-pronged approach is a unique way to keep an ordinary person’s freedom and reputation from being taken away by the government. Failing to take all possible steps to protect an individual’s reputation throughout the criminal justice process can have enormously adverse impacts in the future, particularly in the area of employment.
