DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND ME IF I HAVE BEEN CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?
I would recommend it. It’s not the amount of the fine that matters, money is fungible. A criminal record is an indelible mark that may not be expunged for five (5) years. A criminal record 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 license to practice by a professional licensing board, even if you have satisfactorily completed all requirements. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.
In my 30 years of practicing law I have helped many clients avoid conviction, avoid jail time avoid maximum fines and avoid driver’s license suspension.
If you or a loved one has been charged, I can possibly help you if retained.
Please contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion about how I can help you.
