Why You Need A Defense Attorney's Help

If you are caught up in the criminal justice system, the deck is stacked against you. The police and prosecution have awesome powers and resources to build a case against you. Our job is to tilt the scales back in your favor to ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive a fair trial.

With our assistance, you have a much greater chance of getting the charges reduced from felony to misdemeanor level, taking away the possibility of a long prison sentence. In addition, we regularly go to trial and obtain not guilty verdicts.
