The first step of my legal career was unexpectedly being chosen for the starring role in a third-grade dental health awareness skit. This led me down a path of public speaking and oratory that naturally landed me in a courtroom. Handling criminal cases in court can feel a lot like being on stage, but with an added intellectual component – it’s almost like playing trivia while on stage.
But criminal law is not a game. The consequences are real, and the impact on people’s lives is very real too. I take care never to lose sight of that fact.

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.
