DO I NEED 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 that matters, money is fungible. A criminal record is an indelible mark that may take up to five (5) years to be expunged. You may be precluded from securing employment as a school teacher or government official. You may be required to forfeit your government position. You may be denied a license to practice by a professional licensing board. If you are not a United States citizen you may deported.
During my thirty (30) years of defending clients charged with criminal offenses I have helped many avoid criminal record, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines,avoid driver’s license suspension.
If charged I may be able to help you if retained.
Please contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion about how I can help you.
