Court records

Trellis attorney record · civil cases only
No civil cases found with him as counsel. His practice is criminal defense, and his common name makes matching difficult.
Covers civil state trial court records. Criminal cases are a known blind spot, so an empty or short record usually reflects a criminal practice, not a lack of experience.
