Litigating The Cases That Matter The Most

Defending the Accused and Fighting Mass Incarceration

Litigating The Criminal Cases That Matter The Most

Fighting your charges may seem daunting, but cases are won, charges are overturned, and people walk free out of the courtroom every day. Being charged does not mean you’re going to jail. You are innocent until proven guilty, and our goal at The Claiborne Firm is always to defend your innocence, protect your rights, and fight to keep your record clear. You deserve nothing less.

You Can Fight Your Case and Win – A Winning Track Record

Even when cases seem hopeless, we have a track record of winning for our clients. Review our past cases to learn how we’ve defended past clients and won.

Prior Client Reviews

We’re honored when our clients share their experiences online, but our proudest moments are helping them win their cases and retain their rights. Take a look at what past clients have said.

What You’ll Get at Our Free Case Evaluation

If you’re facing criminal charges, we offer free, no-obligation case evaluations where we start planning your defense in 30-45 minutes. Here’s what you can expect to gain:

  • • An understanding of your charges and potential defenses
  • • More options than you had before
  • • A sense of resilience and empowerment to fight your charges

 

At the evaluation, we listen to your side of the story and start building a narrative to support your defense. We can meet with you in-person, over the phone, or online. All information is confidential. Whether you hire us or not, you’ll gain valuable information from one of the toughest criminal firms in Savannah.

You Can Beat Your Charges

We make it our mission to keep your record clear by getting your charges reduced or dismissed entirely.

We do that by:

  • Empowering you to fight your case through transparency, listening, and education.
  • Achieving the best possible resolution for your case.
  • Helping you keep criminal charges off your record.
  • Giving you your life back.

 

How We Fight for You

Plain and simple, we prepare more thoroughly than the prosecution. We put in the work, and when you put in more work than the prosecution and the arresting officer, you are better prepared to win. We do this by:

  • • Starting our own independent investigation as soon as you meet with us
  • • Preserving evidence immediately after your arrest
  • • Chasing down witnesses to provide testimony
  • • Reviewing every detail of your case, including police reports, court documents, bodycam footage, video feeds, audio files, and test results

This level of preparation means we catch any cracks in the prosecution’s argument or mistakes made by law enforcement – and they do make mistakes.

We listen to your account and use the evidence we collect to develop a narrative that presents your side of the story. Then, we take this narrative to the negotiating table. We present our case to the prosecution to prove that they should drop or reduce the charges. If they don’t, we never back down from a tough fight in the courtroom.
