DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT ME FOR MY CHARGES?
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 and may take up to five (5) years to expunge. A criminal record can preclude you from securing 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 license to practice by a professional licensing board. If you are not a U.S. citizen you may be deported.
In my 30 years of representing clients charged with criminal offenses I have helped many avoid criminal record, avoid jail time, avoid criminal record, avoid loss of driver’s license.
If you or a loved one has been charged 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.
