What is attorney-client privilege?
Attorney-client privilege is a legal concept that protects all communications between you and your criminal defense attorney. This fundamental protection ensures that you can speak completely honestly about your case without fear of these discussions being disclosed to prosecutors or used against you in court. This confidentiality is essential for developing an effective defense strategy and is one of the cornerstones of our legal system.
How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?
Criminal defense fees vary based on case complexity, severity of charges, attorney experience, and location. We offer several fee structures including flat fees for standard cases like DUIs or misdemeanors, hourly rates for more complex matters, and payment plans to make quality representation accessible. For serious felonies, fees reflect the extensive preparation, investigation, and potential trial work required. We provide transparent fee discussions during initial consultations and work to develop an arrangement that fits your specific situation.
Can a lawyer help get my charges reduced?
Yes, an experienced criminal defense attorney can often negotiate for reduced charges or alternative sentencing. This process, called plea bargaining, is how the majority of criminal cases are resolved. Our attorneys analyze evidence strengths and weaknesses, identify procedural errors, leverage legal precedents, and utilize relationships with prosecutors to advocate for charge reductions, diversion programs, or dismissals when appropriate. The effectiveness of these negotiations depends on case specifics, but professional representation significantly increases your chances of achieving more favorable outcomes.
Should I speak to police without an attorney?
We strongly advise against speaking to police without an attorney present if you are suspected of a crime or being questioned in connection with a criminal investigation. The constitutional right to remain silent exists for your protection. Even innocent explanations can be misinterpreted or later used against you. Police officers are trained in interrogation techniques designed to elicit incriminating statements. By requesting an attorney immediately, you protect your rights while ensuring that any communication with authorities is handled strategically and in your best interest.

Our Success Stories
DUI Charge Dismissed
Our client faced serious DUI charges with potential license suspension and jail time. Through meticulous investigation, we discovered procedural errors in the breathalyzer administration and field sobriety tests. We successfully challenged the evidence, resulting in complete dismissal of all charges and preservation of our client's driving privileges and professional reputation.
Felony Reduced to Misdemeanor
A client with no prior record faced a felony theft charge that threatened their future employment prospects. Our defense team conducted a thorough background investigation, gathered character references, and negotiated with prosecutors to demonstrate mitigating circumstances. The result was a reduction to a misdemeanor with probation, protecting our client's future opportunities and avoiding incarceration.
