We understand that Criminal cases are serious and affect the entire family. The arrest alone may impact your career, schooling, government benefits, and overall reputation in the community. Also, criminal charges may impact your finances due to posting bond, pre-trial restrictions, and hiring an attorney. If you were recently arrested, facing criminal charges, or trying to clear up your criminal record, please contact our firm to help. We are experienced advocates who will work on your behalf to bring closure to the case.
Strategies for Hiring a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Advocacy
Look for an attorney who helps you set realistic expectations of your case, is honest, and one who will zealously advocate on your behalf in the courtroom
Ethics
Look for an attorney who is honest, takes time to listen to your case, and is known to have good character. An attorney may not be on call 24/7, but an ethical attorney will always respond to your needs in a timely manner.
Finances
Attorneys utilize much time and effort analyzing, investigating, and strategizing your case. Do not merely hire an attorney because they are “cheap,” hire one based on his/her reputation in the community, communication with you during the consultation, and willingness to work with your budget. If you are unable to pay the majority of the costs upfront, many attorneys will provide a payment plan to suit your needs.
