LAW IS WAR

If you think that likening the law to war is a harsh way of looking at the legal system, just talk to someone who’s endured the rigors of a jury or bench trial. Even the language we use reflects our intuitive understanding of what court trials are all about: we call them legal battles, or legal fights.

When you’re charged with a crime, don’t find out the hard way that law really is war, in one of its most sophisticated, complex forms. Make sure that you’re armed with the best weapon you can get: an attorney who is committed to fighting tirelessly on your behalf, who has the experience, knowledge, impeccable credentials and resources necessary to make sure you emerge the victor.

Commitment

When civil or criminal charges are brought against you, there’s no time to waste. You want someone beside you who can confidently guide you through each step of the process—someone who can make sure you’re treated fairly and not ensnared in an intricate system whose procedures you may not entirely understand.

I thoroughly investigate and explain all of your options—and their implications—to make sure that we’re in agreement on how to best handle your case. From bail bond hearings through to the final verdict, I partner with you and pledge an unswerving commitment to keeping you informed, protecting your rights, and providing a defense designed to ensure the best possible outcome of your trial.

Experience

A prosecutor’s job is to convict you. And whether you’re facing the high fines and inconvenience of a misdemeanor or a prison sentence for a felony, a guilty verdict will carry life-altering, potentially devastating consequences. That’s why it’s critical that you choose an attorney who has the time and resources to mount the focused, aggressive defense you deserve—and also one who can tap into a wealth of diverse, hands-on trial experience. My experience spans a wide variety of jury and bench trials.

Knowledge

As a former prosecutor and police academy instructor, I am intimately familiarity with the legal system’s inner workings. My knowledge enables me to anticipate a prosecutor’s line of attack and stay a step ahead. I fight to win, finding and exploiting every potential weakness in the prosecutor’s case and challenging it at every turn, including exposing violations of police procedures. I aggressively and effectively navigate the complexities and subtleties of a court trail, using both time-tested and innovative strategies to advocate on your behalf.

Personal and professional credentials

As a seasoned attorney who specializes in trial work, I understand just how much impressions count—to juries, prosecutors and judges alike. While an attorney’s image won’t, in and of itself, win a trial, I present a charismatic, authoritative and persuasive demeanor in the courtroom that inspires confidence, respect and trust. And my well-established reputation as a trial attorney with an impressive history of success keeps prosecutors ever mindful that I bring the formidable skills, endurance and resolve necessary to fight effectively for you and your rights.

Recognized and sought after as a commentator and legal consultant, my media appearances further demonstrate my credibility as well as the skill and ability I bring to providing high-level legal analysis and insight into complex, high-profile cases.

Resources

I work closely with an experienced support staff that brings substantial resources to every case I accept. They use their superior research skills and extensive knowledge to provide me with the ammunition I need—such as the most relevant and timely legal precedents available—to back up your defense and argue the prosecution’s case. My staff stands with me, and we are ready to harness our abilities on your behalf.

Legal fees: compare the costs

When it comes to securing competent legal representation, it’s important to remember that there’s a difference between the lowest price and the best price. An experienced attorney who is focused on your defense and committed to winning the fight is one who will get the results you want in court.

Consider that a burglary conviction can carry up to a 10-year prison sentence. How much would a guilty verdict cost you, not just in jail time and lost wages, but also in damage to your reputation and relationships with family, friends and peers? A felony conviction also follows you long after you serve your sentence, taking away your right to vote along with other personal freedoms, making it more difficult to secure gainful employment, credit and insurance, and bringing to bear increased legal scrutiny for the remainder of your life.

Add up the tangible and intangible costs of a conviction, and then compare it to the cost of quality legal representation, which can start at as little as $3,500 for defending you against a felony burglary charge. That amount can work out to less than a dollar a day to protect you from the possible 10 years in prison you might be avoiding. While legal fees obviously run higher for more complex or severe charges, the cost of quality legal representation is minimal when measured against the value and qualify of your life.

After an initial no-cost consultation, I provide you with a written agreement that includes a straight-forward and clear breakdown of anticipated costs and related expenses, and an explanation of my billing practices and payment schedules. If you need to make scheduled payments over time, I clearly delineate that information within our written agreement, which we review during our initial conversation. I want you to be fully aware of all aspects of your case and to not have any surprises regarding either how your case will be handled or the fees for which you’ll be billed. I encourage you to thoroughly investigate your options for legal representation, and to choose an attorney only after careful deliberation. Regardless of the attorney you select, I want you to feel confident that you’re getting the best legal representation possible.
