We believe our clients should have the best legal defense to prevent the over-reaching of the government in criminal cases, and our clients deserve better than the stated and often excessive criminal penalties!

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS:
Remember, even though the law enforcement claims you are not a "suspect" and prefers to label you a "person of interest," you should exercise your right to remain silent and immediately secure our legal advice and representation . Innocently, you may make inconsistent statements &/or be lulled into making what later is characterized as an admission.
You could face life long consequences, both in your professional career now or future choice of business and/or profession. If convicted, you will face criminal penalties such as incarceration in the county jail or state or federal prison, fines, court fees, court ordered formal (or informal) probation, a work fulough program, community service, and more. The terms and conditions of probation are varied and may include court-ordered counseling, special and required classes (such as anger management), as well as lifetime registration as a sex offender (RSO). You risk damaging your reputation as well as loss of employment. Even more serious are the consequences if you have a professional license or in future years apply for a professional license (examples include: contractor, real estate agent, teacher, barber or cosmetologist, nurse or other health care practitioner, and child care worker to name just a few).
