Top Rated Criminal Defense Attorneys
“Dane DeKrey got my drug case completely dismissed. He took a case that seemed dead-on-arrival, revived it, and won it. I owe 17 years of my life to him. I’d be in prison without him. Dane is the lawyer you want when you want someone to fight for you no matter the odds.”
— C.Y., Former Client

— J.K., Former Client
