While serving as a defense attorney in the military, Richard Stevens became a military defense legal expert in the area of attacking client confessions and police interrogation methods. Since that time, he has given countless presentations on this issue to military defense attorneys around the world and he was asked to contribute to a textbook on this topic authored by a civilian expert social psychologist/criminologist. He has also acted as a trial consultant for defense attorneys – military and civilian – in numerous high profile trials, including several murder cases. Many of these cases have had successful outcomes not expected by the prosecution. 

Every case is different and no attorney can guarantee a particular outcome in any case. Successful trial outcomes in the past do not guarantee a successful outcome in any particular case in the future. The term “specialization” as used here indicates a practice focus and does not denote an additional certification by a state-licensing agency.
