CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Tough times demand help and hope. We are here to give you both.
Sometimes good people make poor choices. Sometimes innocent people are ensnared in a ruthless system seemingly more interested in convictions than the truth. Regardless of your guilt or innocence, you must have a fierce team defending you from the start. If you are serious about your defense, we are your team.
From the most serious felonies to municipal violations, any criminal allegation can have a devastating impact on your life. It can threaten your job, finances, family, and freedom. Therefore, it is critical you obtain effective, experienced legal representation as early in the process as possible. (Click here to learn more about How Criminal Cases Progress.*)
When facing criminal allegations, your defense starts with the choices you make from the first hint of trouble. Our team is willing and able to represent you before charges are ever filed. Consider the following before engaging with law enforcement without representation:
You have the right to remain silent. When approached by law enforcement, many of us have a natural inclination to want to “clear our name” or provide information we believe will be helpful. Law enforcement are highly trained at getting you to talk. These interactions can be very intimidating. They can apply intense pressure on you to answer questions immediately. They can even lie to you. They can play “good cop” and try to convince you they are only trying to help you out. Even your best intended statements can come back to haunt you. Don’t forget “anything you say, can and will be used against you.” You can politely decline to talk to them and seek the advice of an attorney. Remember, you don’t ever have to talk to law enforcement.
It’s never too early to consult an attorney. Just because you have the right to remain silent doesn’t mean law enforcement shouldn’t hear your side of things. You have an important story that deserves to be be told. Our team can provide you with valuable representation that can affect whether charges are ultimately filed against you. We engage directly with law enforcement on your behalf to answer questions and provide information during the investigation. Don’t wait to be arrested and charged before you consult with our team.
Few situations are as harrowing as facing a criminal charge. Many new clients arrive at our office feeling their lives are out of control. A key part of the solution we provide you is the stability that comes with gaining a clear understanding of your situation and your options. It is our goal that you leave our first meeting with a renewed sense of hope from knowing you have been heard and that you will be facing this challenge with a strong, caring team at your side.
Often times criminal charges are accompanied by personal issues that need to be addressed. These may include addiction or a mental health condition. We want to see you succeed in all areas of life. Our team is committed to connecting you to resources that will put you on that path. It is our goal that you leave our last meeting with a renewed sense of hope for the future.
