DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT ME FOR THESE CHARGES?
Yes. I would recommend it. It is not the amount of the fine, money is fungible. A criminal record is an indelible mark that may take up to five (5) years to expunge. A criminal record may preclude you from securing employment as a school teacher or governmental official. If employed by government you may be required to forfeit your position. You may be denied a license to practice by a professional licensing board. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.
I have helped many people charged with criminal offenses avoid conviction, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines avoid driver;s license suspension.
If you or someone you know has been charged I can help if retained.
Please contact me for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion of how I can help you.
