    Frequently Asked Questions

    What should I do if I've been arrested?

    Exercise your right to remain silent and contact an attorney immediately. Do not discuss your case with anyone except your lawyer. The sooner you have legal representation, the better we can protect your rights.

    Will I have to go to trial?

    Not necessarily. Many criminal cases are resolved through negotiations. However, if a trial is in your best interest, we are fully prepared to advocate for you in court.

    What's the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

    Misdemeanors are less serious offenses typically punishable by up to one year in county jail. Felonies are more serious crimes that can result in state prison time and have longer-lasting consequences.

    Can criminal charges be dropped or reduced?

    Yes, depending on the circumstances. We will examine all aspects of your case to identify opportunities to have charges reduced or dismissed.

    How much does a criminal defense attorney cost?

    Fees vary based on the complexity of the case. We offer a free initial consultation to discuss your situation and provide transparent information about costs.
