DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND ME IF I AM CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?

Yes. I would recommend it. It’s not the amount of the fine, Money can be replaced. A criminal record is an indelible mark which may take up to five (5) years to expunge. A criminal record can preclude your eligibility 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. You may be denied a license to practice from a professional licensing board even if you have successfully completed all required training. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.

In the thirty (30) years I have been defending people charged with criminal offenses I have helped many clients avoid criminal record, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid driver’s license suspension.

If you or a loved one has been charged I can possibly help you if retained.

Please contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion of how I can help you.
