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 which may take up to five (5) years to expunge. A criminal record may preclude you from securing 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 by a professional licensing board. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.
During my thirty (30) years of defending clients charged with commission of criminal offenses I have helped many avoid conviction, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid driver’s license suspension.
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.
