DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY IF CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?
Yes. I would recommend it. Money is replaceable. A criminal conviction is an indelible mark. You may be precluded securing employment as a school teacher or other government official. If already employed by government you may be required to forfeit your position. Youmay be denied a license to practice by a professional licensing board. If you are not a United State citizen you may be deported.
In the thirty (30) years I have defended clients charged with commission of a criminal offense I have helped many avoid conviction, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid suspension of driver’s license.
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 hekp you.
