Being arrested is, in many cases, an unexpected and alarming experience. Following an arrest or accusation, the anxiety about what happens next can feel overwhelming. Rest assured that you do not have to go through this alone. You are entitled to legal counsel no matter how serious the charges.

It Is Always In Your Best Interest to Hire an Attorney

Some people do not think they need a lawyer because they believe they are guilty of all the charges against them, and they should just plead guilty to get a lighter sentence. It is not unusual for law enforcement to stack as many charges as possible onto a defendant to build a stronger case for the prosecution. These charges can often be reduced or dropped when a skilled attorney is working on your case.

An experienced lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to obtain a better deal than what the prosecution would offer otherwise. Never assume that your case is set in stone at the time of your arrest. The prosecution only cares about landing a conviction, even if the charges and penalties are not equivalent to what the defendant deserves. You will want someone on your side to make sure this doesn’t happen.

    “Each person I spoke with was able to answer my questions.”
    I did not know what to anticipate, as I had never needed to use an attorney in the past; however, they did go above my expectations. I cannot praise Carli enough. She was patient, non-judgmental, efficient and able to answer any question I had. As I live out of town, and was very nervous and naive about all of this, I could not have received any better representation.
