DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND ME IF I AM CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?
Yes. I would recommend it. It is not the amount of the fine, money is fungible. A criminal record is is an indelible mark which may preclude you from securing employment as a school teacher or governmental 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 the thirty (30) years I have been defending clients, I have helped many avoid criminal record, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid driver’s license suspension.
I can possibly help you if retained.
Contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion about how I can help you.
