DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY 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.
In my thirty (30) years of practicing law I have helped many clients avoid criminal conviction, jail time, maximum fines, driver’s license suspension.
I can possibly help you, if retained.
Contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion of how I can help you.
