You need an attorney who has experience trying cases in front of juries. You need an attorney who will fight to protect your rights.

Attorney Will Kautz has practiced almost exclusively criminal defense law for over 40 years. Mr. Kautz has tried hundreds of cases, ranging all the way from minor traffic violations to murder. He has also defended numerous individuals charged with federal criminal offenses.

Attorney Angy Cox has practiced criminal defense since she graduated law school in 2019. Angy has successfully fought and won trials for many clients and one falsely-accused dog. She has tried cases including DUIs and other misdemeanors all the way up to felonies, including drug cases and sex offenses. Prior to joining Edwards and Kautz, Angy was a public defender. During her time at the Department of Public Advocacy, Angy tried more cases per year – by herself – than several other entire DPA offices.
