At Looney Smith Conrad & Hefti P.C., we are more than just defense attorneys—we are trial and appellate lawyers who fight to protect the rights and freedoms of our clients. With thousands of hours in the courtroom, we have built a reputation for aggressive legal strategies, relentless advocacy, and a history of winning results.
Our firm is well-respected among judges, prosecutors, and fellow attorneys for our ability to take on the most challenging criminal cases. Whether the goal is case dismissal, charge reduction, fighting for an acquittal at trial, or reversing a conviction on appeal, we are committed to providing the strongest defense possible.
Looney Smith Conrad & Hefti P.C. stands ready to provide criminal defense in all 50 states and represents clients in both federal and state courts across the country.
Here is the complete list of states we have practiced in:
Our attorneys have also represented U.S. military clients facing charges under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice in courts martial, non-judicial punishment proceedings, and military administrative actions.
If you or a loved one is facing federal charges, contact us immediately to speak with an experienced federal criminal defense attorney.
Most criminal defense lawyers--even those within a firm--handle their cases on their own. We always operate as a team, and every case gets the input and attention of three excellent lawyers so that no angle goes untested and no stone goes unturned.
Unlike many firms that push plea deals, we take cases to trial and win. We prepare every case as if it’s going to trial. Our willingness to try cases, record of success winning cases, and team preparation all lead to the best plea offers possible so our clients can intelligently choose their own objectives to obtain the best possible outcome.
We start building your defense immediately to stay ahead of the prosecution.
We have successfully defended clients against some of the toughest prosecutors in high-stakes cases.
We communicate clearly and directly so you always know your legal options.
A criminal conviction can impact your freedom, reputation, career, and family—we fight to prevent that.
The U.S. criminal justice system is stacked against the accused. While the law presumes innocence until proven guilty, jurors often assume guilt, and prosecutors begin building their case before a defendant has the chance to hire an attorney.
Every day that passes without legal representation strengthens the prosecution’s case. The sooner you have an experienced trial lawyer on your side, the stronger your defense will be.
As one of our clients, DF, put it:
“Having an attorney while being questioned never implies guilt. It ensures an equal and fair questioning process AND ensures you don’t get railroaded.”
At Looney Smith Conrad & Hefti P.C., we take action immediately, ensuring your rights are protected from the very beginning.
