We Are Prepared to Fight Your Criminal Case Through Trial

We are dedicated to protecting the rights and earning the respect of every single client. We accomplish that goal by staying ahead of the prosecution and always being fully prepared to fight your case through trial before a judge or jury.  We work with a variety of special investigators, forensic experts, and hair and fiber analysts to both challenge the evidence against our clients and question the prosecution’s theory of the case.

We believe that the best defense is a strong offense. That begins with investigating your case and preparing a defense from the moment you retain The Nenner Law Firm.  We do not sit back and merely let the District Attorney present its case.  We challenge the admissibility of evidence with pre-trial motions and prepare our own theory of the case, which we present in opening statements and weave throughout both the cross-examination of witnesses and the presentation of our own case.

The Nenner Law Firm has the training and professional experience to protect your future freedom and liberty. Your ability to care for and attend to your children and loved ones are at risk. Therefore, you must ensure that you have an experienced, zealous criminal lawyer in your corner who is willing to fight the prosecution’s case from every angle. David S. Nenner has obtained acquittals in capital murders, multi-kilo federal drug cases, firearm possession charges, sexual assaults, and many other violent felony matters.

We handle every aspect of a criminal matter. This includes, but is not limited to, pre-arrest investigation, bail and detention hearings, preliminary hearings, motions to suppress, probation and parole violations, expungements and pardons, and Protection from Abuse petitions.  We also handle all charges in juvenile court when a minor has been charged with a criminal offense.
