I'm Here to Help

a dedication to criminal law

My entire career has been devoted to criminal law. It is my sole focus and area of expertise. This expertise has been developed through handling tens of thousands of cases in many communities throughout the state.


I truly believe that my unique skillset equips me with the tools to make a difference in people’s lives. Criminal law is complex, and facing criminal charges can be terrifying. I can help you get through it and on with your life again.

my approach to defense

Each case is unique and requires a thoughtful, deliberate approach.  Often this means being aggressive and taking a case to trial, but not always.  Sometimes an aggressive approach is counterproductive.  Instead, skillful negotiation based on the unique facts of a case can achieve better results.

I know how prosecutors think, and I can use that insight to achieve the best results for my clients.  Knowing when to fight is as important as knowing how to fight.

About Me

I never expected to be called to work in criminal defense.  For many years I found work as a prosecutor fulfilling.  But over time that changed.  Rather than making a difference, I was a cog in the machine.  Cases stopped feeling like people and became names on paper.   And I realized that often the true difference makers in the system are the defense attorneys.

I founded Archambault Criminal Defense because I want to use my skills to help people.  Because I want my cases to be about people and not just names on paper.  Because I know I have unique expertise and experience that can truly help people move forward and get on with their lives.
