Not Guilty Verdicts
Our client was facing multiple charges of felony sexual assault that he adamantly denied when he came to Severson and Smead for help. From the beginning it was clear with that there would be no compromises. Attorney Preston Smead has a lot of trial experience. He carefully and strategically prepared the defense. At trial he attacked the state's witnesses and evidence and presented his client's defense and after deliberations the jury returned it's verdicts: NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS.

The Jury's Verdict: NOT GUILTY
What if you were arrested for 3rd offense drunk driving and you weren't driving? And what if they didn't believe you and they wanted you to plead guilty and go sit in jail for months for something you didn't do? That's the situation our client was in when she came to Severson & Smead for help. In a case like this one, there is nothing do to but prepare to fight the case at trial. Fortunately, Attorney Preston Smead has extensive trial experience and a winning record of success. On the day of trial, Attorney Smead attacked every shred of evidence that the State presented to try to prove our client was driving that night. After deliberations the jury returned its verdict: NOT GUILTY.

Trial Victory
Our client was accused of two serious criminal charges, including a felony charge for eluding a police officer in a vehicle, when he came to Severson & Smead for help. Our mission was simple: do everything possible to fight the case. Because of careful preparation and planning, and extensive trial experience, Attorney Preston Smead was able attack the state's case on several fronts. He succeeded in persuading the Judge to throw out one of the charges without allowing the jury to even consider it. For the remaining felony charge, after a short deliberation, the jury returned its verdict: Not Guilty.

REVIEWS
Had the opportunity to have Preston Smead work with me on my case. Treated it very professional from my experience. Was there to help with all questions and still is to this date even though my case is over. Took all my wants to heart as if they were his own. Helped me get what I wanted out of my case. Would definitely recommend him to anyone and everyone needing legal advice or a great lawyer to work with. I'm happy to be able to have called him my lawyer. So thanks a bunch Preston.

They were very professional and I could actually tell they wanted to help me. There was no faking it and I could see that. They actually did there job and brought justice to my case. Would 100% recommend them to anyone I know. Smead was originally my attorney but when he wasn't available severson took his place. Smead was like an actual person that actually wanted the case to come to a fair ending to both party's. I respected that the most. Just being as real as they can and getting the job done. Completely satisfied with the outcome. Thank you so much Severson and Smead!
