About
- I spent the majority of my career working as a prosecutor for a private firm
- I worked with various counties and cities throughout the greater metro area, gaining experience with many different judges, defense attorneys, fellow prosecutors, and police agencies
- After doing this for over a decade, I started to lose my passion for the work
- With such large caseloads, cases - and the real people that they impact - are often just pieces of paper shuffled back and forth
- Eventually I decided I wanted to use my skills to help people directly
- I made the change and founded Archambault Criminal Defense because it gives me an opportunity to help the people who find themselves caught up in the criminal justice system
- Now I get to help people move past their cases and get on with their lives
