Criminal Defense Attorney in Dickinson, ND

Criminal law is not a sideline at Murtha Law Office. It is the whole of Attorney Thomas F. Murtha IV's career, and he has spent it on both sides of the courtroom.

He began in private criminal defense in 1998, served three years as an Assistant State Public Defender, was elected State's Attorney, and has practiced at Murtha Law Office since 2007. Since returning to private practice, he has defended more than 1,000 felony cases.

That background changes how your file is handled. Having built prosecutions and taken them apart, he reads a police report the way the State reads it. He knows where these cases tend to be thin, what the State will want at the negotiating table, and when an offer is not worth accepting.
