Paul Darrow made a very awful situation much better! We couldn't ask for a better lawyer to represent our son. Paul and his Asst. Leslie were very attentive to every question, concern, and fear during our court process. Top Notch and Thank you again!

Amy Nichols

Look, nobody wants to run into trouble with the law. But Mr. Darrow will work hard on your case, even after other lawyers would have thrown in the towel. It also helps that he used to be a District Attorney. If you get in trouble, call Paul Darrow first.

Ryan H.

Paul Darrow represented me when I was facing serious charges. I was afraid this would seriously affect my career. He took the time to explain everything that was happening when we went to court and eventually got the case dismissed. I am so grateful for him...

Anonymous Client

...I was absolutely shocked that I was arrested under [the] circumstances. If you need someone who knows what they’re doing, attentive representation, incredible staff and compassionate and dedicated service, then hire Paul.

Katie B.

Mr. Darrow took me under his wing and treated me as a human being, never judging me. He walked me slowly through what was to take place. His assistants always kept me informed. Mr Darrow treated me as a family member.

Former Client

Paul Darrow is an outstanding lawyer. Paul set my mind at ease and went to work fighting the case for me. He did a great job and the case was dismissed. I couldn’t be happier.

Rich

I believe that pleading guilty should always be the last resort for anyone accused of a crime.
I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU.

When Should You Call a Defense Attorney? NOW-Don't Delay!

Call right away if you have been charged with a crime. We can help from the earliest stages of a criminal case to the end. Being arrested or receiving a misdemeanor summons is the beginning of a very difficult journey for the accused.

Don’t talk to police or prosecutors without an attorney present. At Darrow Law, you can be assured of being believed, being treated with dignity, and being presumed innocent. When we get involved early on, there is a great deal we can do to avoid charges being filed, negotiate for reduced charges, or work out an alternative to jail time that may allow charges to be dropped later, once alternative intervention is completed.

Choosing the right attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. Paul Darrow has the experience to prepare and aggressively fight your case, as well as the knowledge, skills, and relationships to successfully negotiate a favorable disposition.
