DO I NEED TO RETAIN AN ATTORNEY TO DEFEND ME IF I AM CHARGED WITH A CRIMINAL OFFENSE?
Yes. I would recommend it. It’s not the amount of the fine, money is replaceable. A criminal record is an indelible mark that may take five (5) years to expunge. A criminal record can preclude you from being eligible 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. If you are not a United States citizen you may be deported.
During my thirty (30) years of defending clients charged with criminal offenses and DWI-DUI I have helped many avoid criminal record, avoid jail time, avoid maximum fines, avoid driver’s license suspension.
If your or your child has been charged I can possibly help you if retained.
Please contact me today for your free initial consultation and a no nonsense discussion of how I can help you.
