IS YOUR ARREST AND CRIMINAL CASE

About to Ruin Your Life?

Always fight for your freedom! Demand to exercise your constitutional rights! 

Always invoke your right to remain silent, and immediately seek the advice of a lawyer before you make any statements to anyone, especially to a law enforcement officer!

Don’t take a "deal" until you’ve consulted with a lawyer!

    When you face the possibility of arrest or you’ve been arrested for a crime, you need a lawyer who will aggressively defend your rights … assure you’re treated fairly … and gets results.

I’m that lawyer!

    Are you confused? Embarrassed? Angry!? Scared? I understand how fearful you are of what may have happened to you. The criminal justice process of being arrested, hauled off to jail handcuffed, fingerprinted and mug shot taken, and subjected to a body cavity search was probably the most dehumanizing experience you’ve had in your life. Especially, if you’re innocent!

    Any criminal charge involving a misdemeanor or felony can have serious consequences: incarceration in jail or prison; restrictive probation conditions - one of which may be search and seizure, meaning law enforcement can search your home or car at any time - or parole; loss of a professional or driver’s license; loss of your right to possession of a firearm for a minimum of ten years, or life; hefty fines; required attendance at government controlled programs. All because someone merely said you did something wrong.

Allow Me To Provide You With Aggressive
Legal Representation To Protect Your Rights And To Secure Your Freedom

    Do not roll over and play dead! More times than not, the best thing to do is fight! The district attorney is required to prove each and every element of a crime before a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Just because somebody said something that was written down in a police report that doesn’t mean it will see the light of day in court, but remember, the district attorney prosecutes a case with the intent to use all of the fine legal points available to him/her.

    My belief is make’em prove it! My goal is to make sure your rights are protected each and every step of the way in the convoluted proceedings contained within the criminal justice system. My practice is to zealously and to diligently represent you throughout the entire process. While I consider settlement offers, I will not settle a case without your input and authorization. I take a tough stance to protect your rights. I demand all evidence be provided to the defense! I raise appropriate exclusionary or limiting motions that affect the introduction of evidence! I challenge the district attorney and prosecution witnesses at every opportunity! I reveal the weaknesses in the case!

    Unfortunately, because each criminal case is unique, I cannot guarantee the outcome of your case. Judges often rule on points of law differently. One jury may decide the guilt of a person while another jury would not. But rest assured that I will champion your case with your best interest in mind.

    You’ll get expert legal assistance from a lawyer who has spent thirty-five years in the criminal justice system - as a cop, as an attorney, and as a pro tem judge - handling everything from traffic tickets to first degree murder. And, throughout the process, I will be in contact with the district attorney to discuss the merits of your case. Of course, in most cases you will receive copies of the police reports and other documents or photographs (called discovery).

What Does It Take To Get Started?

A free initial consultation by phone call, or a comfortable visit in my office.

Copies of any documents you have relating to the case (including next court date).

Brief outline of the facts, as you know them.

List of potential witnesses and what they saw.

    While we talk I will analyze the basic facts of your case. Only then will I provide you an opinion about it, which, among other things, will include my recommendations as to a defense to the charge, and an explanation of the criminal justice process and your rights.

    Do not concern yourself if you are presently represented by either a court-appointed attorney, a public defender, or you have previously retained another attorney. If you desire, I can be substituted in as attorney of record in the case and the other attorney will be released.

    Regardless of what you decide at the conclusion of the initial consultation, I guarantee that you’ll be knowledgeable as to what to expect in the criminal justice process and, therefore, able to make informed decisions about how to proceed in your case.

It’s risk-free, so give me a call!
