Attorneys

When you have been charged with a crime, you want an aggressive, experienced and knowledgeable advocate who will obtain the best outcome for your case. Sometimes, the best decision is to take the case to trial, if the DA’s case is weak, has inconclusive evidence, or is based in part on witnesses who are unreliable. In other cases, however, there are situations in which the best possible outcome for the client and his or her family is to work out a resolution of the case with the prosecutor. The determination as to the correct course of action is a collaborative efforts, but it is vital that you retain attorneys who have the requisite experience to guide you to the correct decision. We discuss your available options, including determining whether going to trial or plea bargaining would be the best option for your individual case.
