Keil Defense

Two domestic assault cases dismissed on the eve of trial.

In one case, my client was facing the possibility of prison. In another, my client’s career and future were on the line.

Domestic assault allegations carry enormous consequences long before a jury ever hears the evidence. Jobs, families, housing, reputations, and freedom can all be at risk.

These cases required the kind of defense work that often happens in the details: reviewing reports line by line, challenging assumptions, testing the State’s evidence, and finding the inconsistencies that matter.

In one case, a critical documentation issue raised serious concerns about whether the alleged victim actually understood what police had her sign. In another, the evidence simply did not hold up when placed under pressure.

Tough advocacy still matters. Preparation still matters. And using AI as a strategic second chair helped us dig deeper, faster, and more precisely — finding small inconsistencies that helped expose major weaknesses in the prosecution’s cases.

Both clients walked away without domestic assault convictions.

Criminal defense has changed. Most lawyers have not.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
