You have legal and constitutional rights that need to be protected from the moment you become a suspect in a crime. While we cannot guarantee a particular result, we can assure you that we will put our experience to work defending the charges against you and protecting your valuable and inalienable rights. One of the most valuable rights is the right to remain silent and to not answer questioning by a police officer or prosecutor. This right must be properly invoked to be effective.

When interviewing a criminal law attorney, make sure that you are not feeling rushed to make a decision and that the lawyer will put your interests first. Make sure that the lawyer has the office facilities and staff to prepare a thorough defense. It is preferable if the lawyer has a full-time secretary to assist and not just answer phones. A qualified defense lawyer should have a modern library and a portfolio of motions to be deployed in your defense. Too many lawyers rely on outdated seminars and manuals to evaluate their clients’ potential defenses.

Getting a great result for a criminal defendant takes time, effort and cunning. Cases will usually improve with the passage of time, as opposed to accepting the first plea offer. By preparing for a trial, we find and exploit the weaknesses in the prosecutor’s case to put you in the best position to win an acquittal, get the case dismissed or negotiate the best possible deal.
