If you are facing criminal charges, then your future may seem uncertain. It is important to hire a criminal defense attorney that will advocate for you throughout the criminal justice process. The key advantages of hiring a criminal defense attorney to defend misdemeanor or felony charges are: 

  • They understand the statutes that govern the charges against you
  • They are experienced at plea negotiations which typically include reducing charges or alternatives such as diversion, if applicable
  • They know how to work with investigators to gather evidence for your defense
  • They know how to cross-examine witnesses
  • They are familiar with the rules of evidence and can work to include or exclude evidence 
  • They are your voice throughout the process 


We recommend hiring a criminal defense attorney before your first court appearance. Criminal charges can affect your future employment opportunities which directly impact your earning potential.
