Criminal Defense Attorney's Clients and Friends win Kentucky Powerball Dec 13, 2010

Clients initially and longtime friends of Owenboro Attorney Brendan McLeod won the lottery. For years, "the boys", 4 boys (2 sets of twins 9 months apart), had called Brendan McLeod most Saturday evenings from the Golden Nugget and other Hikes Point watering holes to tell them they appreciated him. Brendan had represented Mason, on the of the older twins, in an indictment in Meade County and acquitted him. They owed him money from the trial, and "it wasn't much. However, these are great guys and they would never let me forget it." One Sunday morning he received a call from Muncie who asked if Brendan was sitting down. He said, "I won the lottery." Brendan stated, "these guys are not practical jokers. I believed him as soon as I could comprehend what he was saying." 

Here is a news article and enjoy the vintage 2010 picture at PowerBall Headquarters. 



Owensboro Criminal Defense Attorney Powerball Winner
Best Criminal Lawyer in Owensboro

DAVIESS COUNTY CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY near me

Were you arrested in Owensboro? Do you want to find an attorney nearby or near me? You want to find the best attorney for Owensboro Criminal Attorney. How do you find the right attorney? Shop and ask questions. No psycho-babble, just is he confident and emotionally grounded. Lawyers give themselves nicknames leading people in the public to conclude their experience is much more than it actually is. Often these attorneys are right out of law school or they have never tried a case. See what the attorney's know. Does the lawyer know the process to move supervision out of state? What are the defendant's rights? Can a probation and parole officer just show up and search your house? Do they have discretionary detainer (probation and parole)? If they have any criminal experience these should be answered easily. Made it through law school and according to my client, I am now the "Owensboro Criminal Attorney," who is the best Owensboro Criminal Defense Attorney. 

Not without his own problems growing up and his early, numerous scrapes with the law, Brendan has well worn his body of 50 years old. Losing his middle brother, Marty, when he was 15 years old left an indelible impression and huge serving of empathy in Brendan that is hard for him to explain. A war veteran at age 20 and having travelled internationally as a software system's engineer helps Brendan put things in perspective when handling your real life situations. 


"Life is so fragile and lasts such a short period of time that I don't understand taking away from this finite period of time for the concept of jail and prison. I understand the concept on paper, in black and white, but not in a sense of reality. Drugs, reckless behavior, boys being boys and girls being girls, it is hard to envision jail or prison as the logical endpoint." Brendan. He acknowledges well that some people need to be off the street, but generally feels that prison is for the "thieves thieve and the murderer's murderer." 


Brendan brings the same vigor as a criminal defense lawyer to every case he works and loves to be the underdog. Whether it is a simple DUI charge or a complex murder case the client has to be with him and understand the evidence and motion throughout the entire process. This avoids any surprises and gives everyone notice as the case moves forward. Brendan always states that being a criminal defense attorney with 1 plus trials, 30 plus trials, 70 plus trials goes directly to the harrowing fact that you are only as good as your next, or last, trial. He will always tell you that his next and last trial will be his best. 


He is always always happy to represent a fellow veteran in the courtroom. 


Contact Brendan McLeod today. His cell is 502.386.1414 and that is the number you will have. He only needs about 3 hours of sleep per day, so give him a call. Always a free consultation. He doesn't do free jail visits.
