    I was falsely accused of assaulting my spouse, who made the accusation as means to gain custody of our children. My first lawyer claimed she knew the prosecutor and could drop some hints to cut me a deal. Should've been a red flag but when you're not functioning normally due to stress, you want to believe anything. Lost faith in that lawyer after a rather inoccuous disclosure appearance at court. Just a gut feeling. Found Edward and he was a god send. He tore apart ex-wife's accusations in first half hour. He kept me grounded and informed throughout the whole process. He wasn't looking for a plea deal, and was able to get me acquitted based on the evidence.

    I have known Ed Prutschi since we were in law school together. When I am asked for a great criminal lawyer, I think of Ed because he is well-known for his advocacy and effectiveness in representing his clients' interests. Ed demonstrates his vast knowledge through his writing and social media efforts, and his record of success demonstrates that he understands what his clients need and the strategies necessary to achieve it. In addition to knowledge and strategy, Ed brings with him a personality that makes people comfortable at very difficult times in their lives. I have referred people to Ed in the past and have never had any complaints, which is important to me. When I refer someone to another lawyer, I never want to hear that the lawyer was unresponsive or did a poor job. Ed always makes me look good.
