CRIMINAL DEFENSE PHILOSOPHY

Attorney Joyner is dedicated almost exclusively to defending the accused in criminal cases. His philosophy is simple: every one who is accused of a crime – whether it be speeding, DUI, or murder – is entitled to a vigorous defense. He believes:

Experience is important

Attorney Joyner has handled hundreds of criminal cases from simple traffic offenses to rape, theft, robbery, weapons charges, and even murder. If you have questions, please call and ask him how many times he’s gone to trial this year.

Trial by jury is essential

The right to a jury trial is the foundation of our legal system and it is Attorney Joyner’s passion to represent the accused in jury trials. He favors this quote from Thomas Jefferson:

“I consider trial by jury as the only anchor ever yet imagined by man, by which a government can be held to the principles of its constitution.”
-Thomas Jefferson

There are 2 sides to every story

He draws on investigators, experts, consultants, and researchers to show his client’s side of the story.

Preparation is the key

He and his staff conduct in-depth research into every case so that he is well-prepared when he walks into the courtroom to represent a client. Because he is prepared, he is never afraid to go to trial. Cops and prosecutors respect this.

Discretion is a virtue

He has handled many cases that no one in the public has ever heard of because of his commitment to protecting his client’s reputation by maintaining anonymity whenever possible.

You should never talk to the police
