DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND ME IF CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?
Yes. I would recommend it. Money is replaceable. A criminal record is an indelible mark on your criminal history which 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 unable to secure a professional license to practice from a professional licensing board. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.
In my thirty (30) years as a criminal defense attorney I have helped many clients avoid conviction, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid driver’s license suspension.
If you have been charged I can possibly help you, if retained.
Please contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion about how I can help you.
