Criminal Defense

Criminal Defense and Criminal Appeals

If you have been arrested — or are under investigation — for any type of crime, you have the right to talk to a lawyer before you talk to the police. You should insist on calling a lawyer, and you should hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.

The police will try their best to do their job, which is to encourage you to make statements that will incriminate you. You need a criminal defense lawyer at your side to do his job — which is to protect you during all interrogations and questionings, mount an independent investigation, and show your side of the story. I will also defend you against illegal and seizure and corrupt police.
