We have successfully represented corporate lawyers, insurance lawyers, family lawyers, and even other criminal defense lawyers facing criminal charges. This is why they come to Jack Rice Defense.
What Our Clients Are Saying
Criminal Charges for Law Enforcement and Military Personnel
Police officers and military personnel fall into a very unique category. Simply put, they need to be able to carry weapons. If they are unable to do so, their chosen careers are over. As a result, cops and military people are particularly sensitive to any felonies and domestic assault convictions. Jack Rice Defense understands these concerns and has worked to address these special needs. In fact, as a former Federal Officer himself, Jack knows this all too well.
Criminal Charges for Financial Advisors, Bankers, Real Estate Brokers and Other Fiduciaries
Trust is crucial in the fiduciary world, whether as a financial advisor or a banker or a real estate broker. Without trust, what do you have? Licensing Boards certainly feel this way.

How will various Boards see these? Jack has been called upon to represent financial advisors to real estate agents because he understands the cost that a conviction can have on a career.
