When someone faces a life-changing criminal charge, the lawyer they choose matters. In February 13, 2026, The Aslett Law Firm received a powerful reminder of that truth from client Jamie, who shared how a domestic violence case enhanced to a habitual charge ended in a full dismissal.
From “25 to Life” to a Dismissed Case
Jamie came to The Aslett Law Firm after working with another attorney who gave little attention to the case and pushed trial as the only path. Jamie needed a different kind of advocate: someone who would dig in, give clear direction, and treat the case like it mattered.
Jamie found that in attorney Stephen Aslett, a board-certified criminal defense lawyer with a background as a former prosecutor. That experience allows Stephen to look at a case from both sides and to anticipate how the State may build and present charges. Combined with a commitment to a low caseload, that perspective means clients receive focused attention and tailored defense strategies.
Here is what Jamie had to say:
"I had a family violence case that was enhanced to a habitual. Before I retained Stephen, I had another attorney, and that attorney strung me along, hardly did any work, and told me my best bet was in trial. Upon meeting Stephen, I found him to be a bulldog, and I knew that’s what I needed. Stephen gave me explicit instructions to follow, and I did. Thanks to him, I’m no longer facing 25 to life. My case was dismissed as of yesterday, and I would recommend him to anyone who is facing serious charges and needs the most competent attorney available. Thanks, Stephen, for all the hard work."

Teamwork Between Lawyer & Client
Stephen credits results like Jamie’s to legal skill and clients who commit to the process and follow advice. He put it this way:
“Clients who follow their lawyer's advice always have the best outcomes. Mr. Hollis did everything that I asked him to do. His case was dismissed not just because of what I did for him, but because of what he did for himself.”
That mindset defines the work at The Aslett Law Firm. By keeping a low caseload, the firm gives each client the time to understand their options, receive clear instructions, and make informed choices about their future.
