How does our experience benefit you?

Hiring an attorney with experience is highly suggested when you are attempting to defeat the criminal allegations that have made against you. Whether you can settle the matter out of court or you are set to appear before a judge and jury, having a strong legal advocate on your side is more than advisable, it's necessary. It takes the skill of an experienced attorney to effectively defend you in court. It's simply not worth it to risk hiring an inexperienced or under-experienced attorney for your case, no matter what propositions may be offered to you. Criminal charges have a direct and lasting impact on your future, and you must be confident in the attorney who you choose to protect your rights.

There are many reasons why you should choose to hire a criminal defense lawyer instead of simply accepting a public defender. The public defender system was created to provide legal counsel to every person charged with a crime, especially those who cannot afford an attorney. Unfortunately, this system often falls short of providing quality defense because of the demands placed on it. The income requirements for a public defender are extremely low because so many people need a public defender, and many defendants are unable to qualify for any type of legal representation. Public defenders also frequently take on more cases than they can realistically and adequately handle, which is something that our firm refuses to do. All in all, choosing to opt for a public defender may be placing yourself at greater risk for conviction.
