FAQs
What should I do if I’ve been arrested or charged with a crime?
Remain calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and contact an attorney immediately. Anything you say can be used against you. We’re available 24/7 to provide guidance, protect your rights, and begin building your defense.
Do I have to go to trial if I’m charged?
Not always. Many criminal cases are resolved through negotiations, plea deals, or pretrial motions. However, if trial is in your best interest, we are fully prepared to represent you in court and fight for the best outcome possible.
How much will a criminal defense case cost?
Costs vary depending on the complexity of the case, but we strive to make representation accessible. We offer installment payments and custom payment options to ease the financial burden while still providing high-quality defense services.
