DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND ME IF CHARGES WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?
Yes. I would recommend it. Money is fungible. A criminal record is an indelible mark that can preclude your eligibility to secure a job as a school teacher or other government position. If you are already employed by government you may be required to forfeit your position. You may be denied a professional license to practice even if you have successfully met all requirements. 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 many clients avoid conviction, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid driver’s license suspension.
I can possibly help you.
Please contact me to day for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion of how I can help you.
