DO I NEED 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 which can preclude your eligibility to secure employment as a school teacher or government official. if you are already employed by government you may be required to forfeit your position. You may be denied a professional license to practice by a professional licensing board. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.
During the thirty (30) years I have been a criminal defense attorney I have helped may clients avoid conviction, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid driver’s license suspension.
If you or your child has been charged I can possibly help you.
Please contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense consultation about how I can help you.
