Today they lead a team that has defended more than 3,600 cases, from first-time DUIs to serious federal felonies, with a single standard — treat every client's freedom as if it were our own.

Five Reasons the Accused Call Us First
When your freedom is on the line, experience and preparation are the only things that matter.
We Know Both Sides
Former prosecutors defend better. We've stood in the state's shoes and know exactly how to dismantle its case.
We Prepare for Trial — Always
Cases resolve on the best terms when the prosecutor knows you're ready to go the distance. We always are.
We Move Fast
The first 48 hours after an arrest can decide everything. We act immediately to protect your rights and evidence.
We Fight for Your Record
Beyond the case itself, we fight to keep a conviction off your record so it doesn't cost you your future.
We Never Judge
You'll get a relentless defense and zero lectures. Our only job is to protect you — full stop.
What to Do Right Now — Before You Say Anything
If you or someone you love has been arrested or contacted by police, protect yourself with these steps.
Stay silent
You have the right to remain silent. Use it. Anything you say — even to explain yourself — can be used against you.
Do not consent to searches
Politely decline any search of your phone, car, or home unless police have a warrant.
Ask for a lawyer, then stop talking
Say clearly: 'I want a lawyer.' Questioning must stop once you invoke that right.
Write down everything you remember
Times, names, badge numbers, what was said. Details fade fast and can matter enormously.
Don't discuss your case
Not with cellmates, not on jail phones, not on social media. Assume everything is being recorded.
Call Draper & Kane — 24/7
The sooner we're involved, the more we can protect. Reach us any hour at (602) 555-0148.
How Your Defense Begins
From your first call to the resolution of your case, you'll always know exactly where you stand.
Free Case Review
Call any hour. We'll listen, explain the charges you face, and tell you honestly where you stand — at no cost.
Investigation & Strategy
We dig into the evidence, challenge the stop and search, and build a strategy aimed at the best possible outcome.
Negotiation & Defense
We push for dismissals and reductions — and prepare relentlessly for trial if the state won't offer what's fair.
Resolution
Whether it ends in a dismissal, a plea, or a verdict, we fight to protect your freedom and your future record.
The Call You Make Tonight Can Change Everything
Police can question you the moment you're arrested — but you don't have to face them alone, and you shouldn't. The decisions made in the first hours of a case often determine how it ends.
That's why a Draper & Kane attorney is reachable around the clock. Call us before a bond hearing, before an interrogation, before you sign anything. One phone call is free, confidential, and could be the most important one you make.
- ✓Direct line to an attorney, day or night
- ✓Guidance before any police questioning
- ✓Immediate action on bond and release
Don't Face the State Alone
Every case starts with a free, confidential conversation. Tell us what happened and we'll tell you exactly where you stand — no obligation, no judgment.
