Criminal Defense

Anyone charged with a criminal offense has the right to be represented by an attorney. In fact, this right is so important that it is guaranteed by both the State and Federal Constitution.

To prepare your defense, it is important for you to know the elements of the offense, the legal defense that may apply, and the procedure of the criminal justice system. This will be explained to you at your free initial consultation.

It is unethical for a lawyer to accept a criminal case on a contingency basis. Therefore, in most criminal cases, your lawyer will arrange a payment schedule of a flat rate fee as long as your fees are paid in full before the final deposition of your case. This provides the client with the knowledge of the maximum fee prior to retaining the lawyer.
