As a defense attorney he has successfully defended against 1st degree murder charges. In one case he succeeded in getting a first degree murder charge reduced to accessory after the fact. In a federal murder conspiracy case Mitch Stone’s client was one of the only defendants who was not convicted of the murder conspiracy charges and received a sentence of probation while others were sentenced to life in prison. Julie Taylor has also represented clients charged with all violent crimes, including murder, assault with a deadly weapon, manslaughter, vehicular homicide, aggravated assault, burglary, robbery, and theft, always with a goal of achieving dismissal of charges or acquittal at trial.

When firearms charges are brought by the ATF, we challenge the reason the weapon in question is illegal. We have represented clients accused of firearms violations in airports, on airplanes, involving bombs and other explosives, and involving possession of unregistered firearms or possession of firearms by a felon. We successfully defended an alleged member of the Y2K Militia against federal charges of manufacturing and distribution of machine guns and illegal weapons achieving a not guilty verdict at trial even when alleged co-conspirators testified against him at trial.
