I take pride in providing vigorous, thorough, professional representation to individuals facing criminal charges. High quality representation in a criminal case helps the typically "underdog" defendant get fundamentally fair treatment and avoid an unjust final outcome. Police and prosecutors have tremendous power and some, unfortunately, are prone to abuse it. A person who has been arrested and/or formally charged with a crime is, in contrast, often feeling powerless and intimidated, anxious about their future freedom, confused about their legal rights, and without much idea of how to go about preparing to defend themselves. Once retained as defense counsel, I immediately begin working to "level the playing field." The United States of America, founded on a desire for individual freedom from government overreaching and oppression, has a written Constitution which includes provisions preserving certain fundamental rights in criminal cases. Under the Constitution, a person has the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, the right not to be compelled to be a witness against himself in a criminal case, the right to counsel, the right to be informed of the nature of the charges against him, the right to a speedy and public trial before an impartial jury, the right to be confronted with the witnesses against him, and the right to compel witnesses to appear to testify at trial. I am proud to help my clients exercise these rights and to otherwise vigorously advocate for them, throughout the proceedings in the Trial Court, including any Sentencing. |

Affordable Flat Fee* terms, for attorney representation in Court through jury trial, are available. Payment plan calls for 2 payments: -First payment (2/3 of Flat Fee amount) is due upfront; -Second payment (1/3 of Flat Fee amount) is due before the Final Pre- Trial Conference. If the case is resolved before a Final Pretrial Conference occurs, then the second payment is waived. The amount of a Flat Fee charged in a particular case will depend on the type and number of charges, the range of penalty exposure if convicted, the number and complexity of the contested issues, and to some extent the ability of the accused and his or her Family to pay. The specific amount usually can not be determined without meeting with the accused. Call for an office appointment or to arrange an in- custody visit. There is no charge unless a written Fee Agreement is signed. If you are unable to reach me on the first try, please leave your name, number, and a brief voice message. I usually am able to return calls within a few hours. a Private Investigator and/or Expert Witness, if necessary in your particular case, would be extra charges . |
