About

I am a Fresno based government investigations attorney and criminal defense attorney, dedicated to providing the highest level of legal service.I  represent people who are accused of crimes in California courts and in Federal courts throughout the United States. I handle all types of criminal cases, including white collar crimes, drug crimes, crimes of violence, and other criminal matters.  I also represent people who are being investigated for crimes but have not yet been charged with a crime.For those persons who are charged with or convicted of a crime and who hold a professional license, such as physicians, attorneys, nurses, contractors and others, I also handle administrative matters regarding licensing penalties.I have been featured on five national television shows related to my work in criminal law.  These include In Ice Cold Blood, American Justice, Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege and Justice, Forensic Files, and on Solved.  I am certified by the California State Bar as a Criminal Law Specialist.  I am AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, which is the highest rating given to any attorney for legal ability and ethics. I have also been listed in Northern California Super Lawyers from 2009-2019, and in Northern California Super Lawyers Top 100 in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. I am admitted to practice in California, and in federal courts, including the Ninth Circuit and the United States Supreme Court.My goal is to provide representation to clients in the manner I'd want to receive if I was the client.  To me, this means returning telephone calls, keeping the client advised, and providing legal service that results in the best possible outcome to the client.  It means not rushing clients through meetings and making sure the client gets his or her questions answered completely. Should you find yourself in the position of being investigated for or charged with a crime, I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you about your matter. Recent federal case results:United States v. Carmen C. (2018 case that was sentenced in 2019) – Client charged with drug conspiracy charges with 10 year mandatory minimum. Case settled for probation on a phone count with no jail time.United States v. M. Williams (December 2017 arrest and case was sentenced in 2019) – Client charged with fraud of more than $500,000.

My father was a business man and he always had told me growing up, that if I ever needed an attorney, to ALWAYS HIRE THE BEST. So now that I am a business woman that holds two different professional licenses, I needed to hire the best criminal defense attorney, as I was charged with a FELONY Domestic Violence charge in 2007 and another Felony Domestic Violence charge in 2013. Needless to say, a FELONY conviction would mean that I would lose both my professional licenses, along with losing my livelihood. And I was NOT going to allow that to happen. Therefore, I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt - THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN TOWN, hands down! I was truly innocent in both the 2007 DV charge and the 2013 DV charge, and I told Jeff that I wanted everything dismissed since I was INNOCENT. Jeff worked hard, pulling police reports, writing letters to the DA's office, communicating with the ADA in regards to the other party's statement in the police report did not support the physical evidence, and all the while, BELIEVING ME AND BELIEVING IN ME! Then recently, in January 2013, I was charged with another FELONY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE charge w/ an enhanced great bodily injury charge added on to it. Jeff was my FIRST PHONE CALL I MADE EVEN BEFORE I WAS ARRESTED. He quickly communicated with my Office Manager within a couple of hours and told her no problem, he would handle everything. Jeff's vast knowledge of CRIMINAL LAW, along with his experience and insight gained from working in the District Attorney's office years ago (as he helped prosecute the Dana Ewel case years ago that I remember watching), I believe, is one of many key factors that allows Jeff to be the attorney that he is. Jeff's knowledge of how and what makes the DA's office tick, definitely showed in his communication with their office and the letters that he wrote to the ADA explaining in great detail why the facts supported that my cases needed to be dismissed. He kept me informed and always explained to me the stragety that he thought would be best to use (as there is always more than one way to approach a case). The first case in 2007, he took slow and steady. And within 6 months, he SUCCEEDED IN getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED. My second case, in 2013, he took a different approach (as it was truly a different kind of case being that their was the enhanced charge of great bodily injury). And at the actual PRELIMINARY HEARING, he SUCCEEDED AGAIN in getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED (which is pretty much unheard of getting felony charges dismissed so quickly)! I kid with him and tell him that he had it easy, because he defended an innocent client who was falsely accused. But I know just how hard Jeff worked on both my cases. And Jeff put all his knowledge, all of his resources, and many working hours into getting ALL of my charges in BOTH CASES, DISMISSED. So, if you are ever in need of a criminal defense attorney - GET THE BEST - AND HIRE JEFFREY T. HAMMERSCHMIDT. I APPRECIATE Jeff for keeping both my reputation and my livelihood, intact. Thank you Jeff, for ALL that you have done for my family and I and for always being there, in my corner, when needed!

Jeff was an amazing man to work with! He worked on my case and was able to reduce all of my felony charges down to misdemeanors. Jeff was honest, respectful, thoughtful, and really listened to my background. He took all of the information that I provided and made a great case out of it. I would recommend Jeff Hammerschmidt to anyone and everyone who is in need of a great lawyer. Jeff treated me like a regular guy not some criminal. I would highly advise hiring Jeff for any criminal case. If i ever need another lawyer I would not think twice to hire Jeff again. His services were well worth the small amount that I paid for the services that I recieved.

Hammerschmidt Law has one of the best reputations for delivering an exceptional professional experience. During my initial meeting with Mr. Hammerschmidt and Miss Harrison, I was confident they would be the best choice to handle my case. Jeff and Rena were both punctual and detailed and stayed in constant communication with me. They provided excellent guidance while helping me make tough decisions and their years of experience helped the discussions. I completely trust this law office as they have all the tools to help each client in all situations.

Auto Accident Charged with Felony DUI Great Bodley Harm for prescription medication. I was referred to Jeff Hammerschmidt for this felony charge and glad that I contacted him for this case. After a consultation Jeff took on the case keeping me informed by phone and emails. Jeff and his staff were so great and professional gathering information to defend me in this case with medical records of the second party and discovering faults claims of injuries. At the end this case was dropped to a misdemeanor DUI. This was a win to me. If I was to ever need a defense lawyer again or to refer someone Hammerschmidt Law would be the one. Sincerely Lisa

Jeff was referred to me by a friend when I was charged with a misdemeanor crime. Jeff went above and beyond to explain the process to me and what options we had. He worked for the best possible outcome which ultimately lead to the charges being dropped. The case was dismissed. It is scary to be unjustly charged with a crime. Law Enforcement often does not have all the correct information and you can end up in "the system" for a legal act. With Jeff in your corner the whole process is much less intimidating. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for legal counsel and representation.

I can't thank Mr. Hammerschmidt enough. He protected my professional license that was in jeopardy if charges were filed. I was well informed during the entire process thanks to him. I'm grateful to have my career back.

I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt initially to review my case and give me his opinion on whether I should accept the plea deal being offered to me or go to trial. After meeting with Jeff Hammerschmidt I immediately regret not having found and retained him as my attorney at the start of my indictment because I am positive the outcome of my case would have been very different. I then hired Mr. Hammerschmidt AFTER I had been sentenced and let down by my own attorney. Not only did Mr. Hammerschmidt assist me as I prepared to deal with my sentence, but he performed a miracle and got me a sentence reduction AFTER I had been sentenced! If you want an attorney that truly cares and will do everything possible to get you the best outcome he can, this man is the person for the job.

I was out of town on vacation when i received my DUI. When i got home and began researching lawyers, i talked to 6 different attorneys in the Fresno/Madera area - many who specialized in DUI cases. Jeff is a criminal attorney and stood out from the others, as he talked to me like he truly cared about me and my case and made me feel like everything would be ok. Sure enough, he helped me through every step of the process. He was always willing to make time for a meeting, even if there were no updates. Everytime i spoke with him, i felt better. My case dragged on and in the end, he was able to secure me a very good deal. He provided excellent advice throughout the process and helped provide direction on what i could do to help him get the best possible outcome for my case. He is honest, trustworthy and i am so thankful i chose him to represent me. You will be extremely happy if you hire Jeff as the attorney to represent you.

They provided excellent guidance while helping me make tough decisions and their years of experience helped the discussions. I completely trust this law office as they have all the tools to help each client in all situations.

Auto Accident Charged with Felony DUI Great Bodley Harm for prescription medication. I was referred to Jeff Hammerschmidt for this felony charge and glad that I contacted him for this case. After a consultation Jeff took on the case keeping me informed by phone and emails. Jeff and his staff were so great and professional gathering information to defend me in this case with medical records of the second party and discovering faults claims of injuries. At the end this case was dropped to a misdemeanor DUI. This was a win to me. If I was to ever need a defense lawyer again or to refer someone Hammerschmidt Law would be the one. Sincerely Lisa

Jeff was referred to me by a friend when I was charged with a misdemeanor crime. Jeff went above and beyond to explain the process to me and what options we had. He worked for the best possible outcome which ultimately lead to the charges being dropped. The case was dismissed. It is scary to be unjustly charged with a crime. Law Enforcement often does not have all the correct information and you can end up in "the system" for a legal act. With Jeff in your corner the whole process is much less intimidating. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for legal counsel and representation.

I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt initially to review my case and give me his opinion on whether I should accept the plea deal being offered to me or go to trial. After meeting with Jeff Hammerschmidt I immediately regret not having found and retained him as my attorney at the start of my indictment because I am positive the outcome of my case would have been very different. I then hired Mr. Hammerschmidt AFTER I had been sentenced and let down by my own attorney. Not only did Mr. Hammerschmidt assist me as I prepared to deal with my sentence, but he performed a miracle and got me a sentence reduction AFTER I had been sentenced! If you want an attorney that truly cares and will do everything possible to get you the best outcome he can, this man is the person for the job.

I was out of town on vacation when i received my DUI. When i got home and began researching lawyers, i talked to 6 different attorneys in the Fresno/Madera area - many who specialized in DUI cases. Jeff is a criminal attorney and stood out from the others, as he talked to me like he truly cared about me and my case and made me feel like everything would be ok. Sure enough, he helped me through every step of the process. He was always willing to make time for a meeting, even if there were no updates. Everytime i spoke with him, i felt better. My case dragged on and in the end, he was able to secure me a very good deal. He provided excellent advice throughout the process and helped provide direction on what i could do to help him get the best possible outcome for my case. He is honest, trustworthy and i am so thankful i chose him to represent me. You will be extremely happy if you hire Jeff as the attorney to represent you.

My father was a business man and he always had told me growing up, that if I ever needed an attorney, to ALWAYS HIRE THE BEST. So now that I am a business woman that holds two different professional licenses, I needed to hire the best criminal defense attorney, as I was charged with a FELONY Domestic Violence charge in 2007 and another Felony Domestic Violence charge in 2013. Needless to say, a FELONY conviction would mean that I would lose both my professional licenses, along with losing my livelihood. And I was NOT going to allow that to happen. Therefore, I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt - THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN TOWN, hands down! I was truly innocent in both the 2007 DV charge and the 2013 DV charge, and I told Jeff that I wanted everything dismissed since I was INNOCENT. Jeff worked hard, pulling police reports, writing letters to the DA's office, communicating with the ADA in regards to the other party's statement in the police report did not support the physical evidence, and all the while, BELIEVING ME AND BELIEVING IN ME! Then recently, in January 2013, I was charged with another FELONY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE charge w/ an enhanced great bodily injury charge added on to it. Jeff was my FIRST PHONE CALL I MADE EVEN BEFORE I WAS ARRESTED. He quickly communicated with my Office Manager within a couple of hours and told her no problem, he would handle everything. Jeff's vast knowledge of CRIMINAL LAW, along with his experience and insight gained from working in the District Attorney's office years ago (as he helped prosecute the Dana Ewel case years ago that I remember watching), I believe, is one of many key factors that allows Jeff to be the attorney that he is. Jeff's knowledge of how and what makes the DA's office tick, definitely showed in his communication with their office and the letters that he wrote to the ADA explaining in great detail why the facts supported that my cases needed to be dismissed. He kept me informed and always explained to me the stragety that he thought would be best to use (as there is always more than one way to approach a case). The first case in 2007, he took slow and steady. And within 6 months, he SUCCEEDED IN getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED. My second case, in 2013, he took a different approach (as it was truly a different kind of case being that their was the enhanced charge of great bodily injury). And at the actual PRELIMINARY HEARING, he SUCCEEDED AGAIN in getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED (which is pretty much unheard of getting felony charges dismissed so quickly)! I kid with him and tell him that he had it easy, because he defended an innocent client who was falsely accused. But I know just how hard Jeff worked on both my cases. And Jeff put all his knowledge, all of his resources, and many working hours into getting ALL of my charges in BOTH CASES, DISMISSED. So, if you are ever in need of a criminal defense attorney - GET THE BEST - AND HIRE JEFFREY T. HAMMERSCHMIDT. I APPRECIATE Jeff for keeping both my reputation and my livelihood, intact. Thank you Jeff, for ALL that you have done for my family and I and for always being there, in my corner, when needed!

Jeff was an amazing man to work with! He worked on my case and was able to reduce all of my felony charges down to misdemeanors. Jeff was honest, respectful, thoughtful, and really listened to my background. He took all of the information that I provided and made a great case out of it. I would recommend Jeff Hammerschmidt to anyone and everyone who is in need of a great lawyer. Jeff treated me like a regular guy not some criminal. I would highly advise hiring Jeff for any criminal case. If i ever need another lawyer I would not think twice to hire Jeff again. His services were well worth the small amount that I paid for the services that I recieved.

I can't thank Mr. Hammerschmidt enough. He protected my professional license that was in jeopardy if charges were filed. I was well informed during the entire process thanks to him. I'm grateful to have my career back.

I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt initially to review my case and give me his opinion on whether I should accept the plea deal being offered to me or go to trial. After meeting with Jeff Hammerschmidt I immediately regret not having found and retained him as my attorney at the start of my indictment because I am positive the outcome of my case would have been very different. I then hired Mr. Hammerschmidt AFTER I had been sentenced and let down by my own attorney. Not only did Mr. Hammerschmidt assist me as I prepared to deal with my sentence, but he performed a miracle and got me a sentence reduction AFTER I had been sentenced! If you want an attorney that truly cares and will do everything possible to get you the best outcome he can, this man is the person for the job.

I was out of town on vacation when i received my DUI. When i got home and began researching lawyers, i talked to 6 different attorneys in the Fresno/Madera area - many who specialized in DUI cases. Jeff is a criminal attorney and stood out from the others, as he talked to me like he truly cared about me and my case and made me feel like everything would be ok. Sure enough, he helped me through every step of the process. He was always willing to make time for a meeting, even if there were no updates. Everytime i spoke with him, i felt better. My case dragged on and in the end, he was able to secure me a very good deal. He provided excellent advice throughout the process and helped provide direction on what i could do to help him get the best possible outcome for my case. He is honest, trustworthy and i am so thankful i chose him to represent me. You will be extremely happy if you hire Jeff as the attorney to represent you.

My father was a business man and he always had told me growing up, that if I ever needed an attorney, to ALWAYS HIRE THE BEST. So now that I am a business woman that holds two different professional licenses, I needed to hire the best criminal defense attorney, as I was charged with a FELONY Domestic Violence charge in 2007 and another Felony Domestic Violence charge in 2013. Needless to say, a FELONY conviction would mean that I would lose both my professional licenses, along with losing my livelihood. And I was NOT going to allow that to happen. Therefore, I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt - THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN TOWN, hands down! I was truly innocent in both the 2007 DV charge and the 2013 DV charge, and I told Jeff that I wanted everything dismissed since I was INNOCENT. Jeff worked hard, pulling police reports, writing letters to the DA's office, communicating with the ADA in regards to the other party's statement in the police report did not support the physical evidence, and all the while, BELIEVING ME AND BELIEVING IN ME! Then recently, in January 2013, I was charged with another FELONY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE charge w/ an enhanced great bodily injury charge added on to it. Jeff was my FIRST PHONE CALL I MADE EVEN BEFORE I WAS ARRESTED. He quickly communicated with my Office Manager within a couple of hours and told her no problem, he would handle everything. Jeff's vast knowledge of CRIMINAL LAW, along with his experience and insight gained from working in the District Attorney's office years ago (as he helped prosecute the Dana Ewel case years ago that I remember watching), I believe, is one of many key factors that allows Jeff to be the attorney that he is. Jeff's knowledge of how and what makes the DA's office tick, definitely showed in his communication with their office and the letters that he wrote to the ADA explaining in great detail why the facts supported that my cases needed to be dismissed. He kept me informed and always explained to me the stragety that he thought would be best to use (as there is always more than one way to approach a case). The first case in 2007, he took slow and steady. And within 6 months, he SUCCEEDED IN getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED. My second case, in 2013, he took a different approach (as it was truly a different kind of case being that their was the enhanced charge of great bodily injury). And at the actual PRELIMINARY HEARING, he SUCCEEDED AGAIN in getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED (which is pretty much unheard of getting felony charges dismissed so quickly)! I kid with him and tell him that he had it easy, because he defended an innocent client who was falsely accused. But I know just how hard Jeff worked on both my cases. And Jeff put all his knowledge, all of his resources, and many working hours into getting ALL of my charges in BOTH CASES, DISMISSED. So, if you are ever in need of a criminal defense attorney - GET THE BEST - AND HIRE JEFFREY T. HAMMERSCHMIDT. I APPRECIATE Jeff for keeping both my reputation and my livelihood, intact. Thank you Jeff, for ALL that you have done for my family and I and for always being there, in my corner, when needed!

Jeff was an amazing man to work with! He worked on my case and was able to reduce all of my felony charges down to misdemeanors. Jeff was honest, respectful, thoughtful, and really listened to my background. He took all of the information that I provided and made a great case out of it. I would recommend Jeff Hammerschmidt to anyone and everyone who is in need of a great lawyer. Jeff treated me like a regular guy not some criminal. I would highly advise hiring Jeff for any criminal case. If i ever need another lawyer I would not think twice to hire Jeff again. His services were well worth the small amount that I paid for the services that I recieved.

Hammerschmidt Law has one of the best reputations for delivering an exceptional professional experience. During my initial meeting with Mr. Hammerschmidt and Miss Harrison, I was confident they would be the best choice to handle my case. Jeff and Rena were both punctual and detailed and stayed in constant communication with me. They provided excellent guidance while helping me make tough decisions and their years of experience helped the discussions. I completely trust this law office as they have all the tools to help each client in all situations.

Auto Accident Charged with Felony DUI Great Bodley Harm for prescription medication. I was referred to Jeff Hammerschmidt for this felony charge and glad that I contacted him for this case. After a consultation Jeff took on the case keeping me informed by phone and emails. Jeff and his staff were so great and professional gathering information to defend me in this case with medical records of the second party and discovering faults claims of injuries. At the end this case was dropped to a misdemeanor DUI. This was a win to me. If I was to ever need a defense lawyer again or to refer someone Hammerschmidt Law would be the one. Sincerely Lisa

Jeff was referred to me by a friend when I was charged with a misdemeanor crime. Jeff went above and beyond to explain the process to me and what options we had. He worked for the best possible outcome which ultimately lead to the charges being dropped. The case was dismissed. It is scary to be unjustly charged with a crime. Law Enforcement often does not have all the correct information and you can end up in "the system" for a legal act. With Jeff in your corner the whole process is much less intimidating. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for legal counsel and representation.

My case dragged on and in the end, he was able to secure me a very good deal. He provided excellent advice throughout the process and helped provide direction on what i could do to help him get the best possible outcome for my case. He is honest, trustworthy and i am so thankful i chose him to represent me. You will be extremely happy if you hire Jeff as the attorney to represent you.

My father was a business man and he always had told me growing up, that if I ever needed an attorney, to ALWAYS HIRE THE BEST. So now that I am a business woman that holds two different professional licenses, I needed to hire the best criminal defense attorney, as I was charged with a FELONY Domestic Violence charge in 2007 and another Felony Domestic Violence charge in 2013. Needless to say, a FELONY conviction would mean that I would lose both my professional licenses, along with losing my livelihood. And I was NOT going to allow that to happen. Therefore, I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt - THE BEST CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY IN TOWN, hands down! I was truly innocent in both the 2007 DV charge and the 2013 DV charge, and I told Jeff that I wanted everything dismissed since I was INNOCENT. Jeff worked hard, pulling police reports, writing letters to the DA's office, communicating with the ADA in regards to the other party's statement in the police report did not support the physical evidence, and all the while, BELIEVING ME AND BELIEVING IN ME! Then recently, in January 2013, I was charged with another FELONY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE charge w/ an enhanced great bodily injury charge added on to it. Jeff was my FIRST PHONE CALL I MADE EVEN BEFORE I WAS ARRESTED. He quickly communicated with my Office Manager within a couple of hours and told her no problem, he would handle everything. Jeff's vast knowledge of CRIMINAL LAW, along with his experience and insight gained from working in the District Attorney's office years ago (as he helped prosecute the Dana Ewel case years ago that I remember watching), I believe, is one of many key factors that allows Jeff to be the attorney that he is. Jeff's knowledge of how and what makes the DA's office tick, definitely showed in his communication with their office and the letters that he wrote to the ADA explaining in great detail why the facts supported that my cases needed to be dismissed. He kept me informed and always explained to me the stragety that he thought would be best to use (as there is always more than one way to approach a case). The first case in 2007, he took slow and steady. And within 6 months, he SUCCEEDED IN getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED. My second case, in 2013, he took a different approach (as it was truly a different kind of case being that their was the enhanced charge of great bodily injury). And at the actual PRELIMINARY HEARING, he SUCCEEDED AGAIN in getting ALL MY CHARGES DISMISSED (which is pretty much unheard of getting felony charges dismissed so quickly)! I kid with him and tell him that he had it easy, because he defended an innocent client who was falsely accused. But I know just how hard Jeff worked on both my cases. And Jeff put all his knowledge, all of his resources, and many working hours into getting ALL of my charges in BOTH CASES, DISMISSED. So, if you are ever in need of a criminal defense attorney - GET THE BEST - AND HIRE JEFFREY T. HAMMERSCHMIDT. I APPRECIATE Jeff for keeping both my reputation and my livelihood, intact. Thank you Jeff, for ALL that you have done for my family and I and for always being there, in my corner, when needed!

Jeff was an amazing man to work with! He worked on my case and was able to reduce all of my felony charges down to misdemeanors. Jeff was honest, respectful, thoughtful, and really listened to my background. He took all of the information that I provided and made a great case out of it. I would recommend Jeff Hammerschmidt to anyone and everyone who is in need of a great lawyer. Jeff treated me like a regular guy not some criminal. I would highly advise hiring Jeff for any criminal case. If i ever need another lawyer I would not think twice to hire Jeff again. His services were well worth the small amount that I paid for the services that I recieved.

Hammerschmidt Law has one of the best reputations for delivering an exceptional professional experience. During my initial meeting with Mr. Hammerschmidt and Miss Harrison, I was confident they would be the best choice to handle my case. Jeff and Rena were both punctual and detailed and stayed in constant communication with me. They provided excellent guidance while helping me make tough decisions and their years of experience helped the discussions. I completely trust this law office as they have all the tools to help each client in all situations.

Auto Accident Charged with Felony DUI Great Bodley Harm for prescription medication. I was referred to Jeff Hammerschmidt for this felony charge and glad that I contacted him for this case. After a consultation Jeff took on the case keeping me informed by phone and emails. Jeff and his staff were so great and professional gathering information to defend me in this case with medical records of the second party and discovering faults claims of injuries. At the end this case was dropped to a misdemeanor DUI. This was a win to me. If I was to ever need a defense lawyer again or to refer someone Hammerschmidt Law would be the one. Sincerely Lisa

Jeff was referred to me by a friend when I was charged with a misdemeanor crime. Jeff went above and beyond to explain the process to me and what options we had. He worked for the best possible outcome which ultimately lead to the charges being dropped. The case was dismissed. It is scary to be unjustly charged with a crime. Law Enforcement often does not have all the correct information and you can end up in "the system" for a legal act. With Jeff in your corner the whole process is much less intimidating. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone looking for legal counsel and representation.

I hired Jeff Hammerschmidt initially to review my case and give me his opinion on whether I should accept the plea deal being offered to me or go to trial. After meeting with Jeff Hammerschmidt I immediately regret not having found and retained him as my attorney at the start of my indictment because I am positive the outcome of my case would have been very different. I then hired Mr. Hammerschmidt AFTER I had been sentenced and let down by my own attorney. Not only did Mr. Hammerschmidt assist me as I prepared to deal with my sentence, but he performed a miracle and got me a sentence reduction AFTER I had been sentenced! If you want an attorney that truly cares and will do everything possible to get you the best outcome he can, this man is the person for the job.
