Criminal Defense
Criminal
defendants faced with the possibility of going to jail or prison
should always hire an attorney, whether their case is a first
offense DUI, domestic violence, drugs or drug related, theft,
assault or as serious as a sex crime or even murder. The truth
is, no matter what the person's intelligence or educational
background, the criminal justice system makes it virtually
impossible to do a competent job of self representation. Each
criminal case is unique, and only an attorney who is experienced
in assessing the particulars of a case--and in dealing with the
many variables present in every criminal case--can provide the
type of representation that every criminal defendant needs to
receive if justice is to be done.
If you are charged with a crime, it is a serious matter. The
consequences may include jail or imprisonment, mandatory
treatment, fines, and probation. You may also suffer the loss of
important rights and privileges, such as voting and driving. A
criminal conviction may cause you to lose your job or forfeit
future employment opportunities. If you are not a citizen of the
United States, a criminal conviction may cause you deportation,
exclusion of the United States or denial of naturalization. It
is important that you are protected by an attorney in whom you
have confidence.
