Our Process

Step #1: The Initial Consultation

At an initial consultation I do an intake of the following:

The facts surrounding your history
A broad overview of the case to determine the charges
The potential penalties
The potential strategies and/or defenses

I also try to set realistic expectations for clients as far as how long your case will take, how much money a criminal case will cost, and the factors that will influence how a case may be viewed by not only a judge but also by the District Attorney’s Office.

I also try to take into account the victim in the matter to determine whether the victim is interested in actively pursing the case against a person.

Step #2: If You Retain Me as Your Attorney

I will work closely with you to ensure that you understand the past ramifications, the current situation, and future ramifications of your case.

I make sure that I am accessible to you
Will answer any and all questions no matter how complex
Offer a realistic expectations of what to expect
Present what role you will play in the case
Present what role the judge and other parties will play
Try to anticipate what the opposing side may try to present
Keep you actively informed at all stages of the proceedings

Additionally, I will teach you areas of the law as we proceed through your case. I do this in an effort to empower you to effectively advocate and make your own decisions regarding legal consequences.

Our Goal: Effective Legal Service

Usually, several meetings are held prior to a court appearance. During these meetings, I will try to gather an entire factual background, case information, and any relevant specifics prior to ever walking into a courtroom. Thereafter, I will ensure that not only I will arrive at court well prepared, but you will be well prepared as well.
