DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND ME IF I AM CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?
Yes. I would recommend it. It is not the amount of the fine that matters, money is replaceable. A criminal record is an indelible mark which may result in your ineligibility to secure employment as a school teacher or other government official. If you are already employed by government you may be required to forfeit your position. A criminal record may prevent you from securing a license to practice from a professional licensing board even though you have satisfied all the requirements. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.
In my thirty (30) years of defending persons charged with criminal offenses, I have helped many clients avoid conviction, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid suspension of driver’s license.
I can possibly help you, if retained.
Please contact me for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion of how I can help you.
