Our 18-year-old client made a life-altering mistake and faced a 20-year sentence. Krizman Law was able to keep him out of prison.

Our client and a friend decided to rob a vape store. Wearing masks and carrying guns, they entered the shop, but the plan went awry. The store owner escaped out a side door and fired several shots at them as they fled. Our client was struck twice in the arm and fired back.

He was charged with attempted first-degree murder and his family contacted Krizman Law in desperation. We visited him in the hospital, ensured he made no statements to police, and guided his parents through the mess that followed.

We engaged a “mitigation” specialist who helped develop a picture of a young man who made a serious mistake but was capable of change and deserved a second chance. Through persistence, we negotiated a five-year Youth Offender Services sentence, which kept him out of adult prison.

Youth Offender Services provides juveniles with intensive treatment and education. It means he will serve his time, learn, and reenter society with a clear future ahead of him. Krizman Law stood beside both the client and his family from the hospital through sentencing, ensuring that one terrible night didn’t define the rest of a young life.

Krizman Law is known for its relentless pursuit of justice for clients. That means thoughtfully listening to the client's story, diligently investigating the circumstances and the law, and aggressively advocating for the client in front of prosecutors, judges, and juries.
