Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I’m arrested?

Stay calm and silent. Do not speak to the police or answer questions without an attorney present. Anything you say can be used against you.

Will I go to prison?

Not necessarily. A criminal charge does not mean a conviction—but you must act fast. The sooner you talk to an attorney, the better your chances of avoiding harsh penalties. We work to minimize penalties, explore alternatives like probation or diversion programs, and fight for case dismissals when possible.

Can I fight my charges, or should I take a plea deal?

Every case is unique. We analyze all evidence, police conduct, and legal options before advising on the best course of action—whether it’s fighting the charges in court or negotiating a favorable plea.

How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?

Costs vary based on case complexity. However, your future is priceless. We offer flexible payment options and will discuss fees upfront, ensuring transparency.

Can I get my criminal record expunged?

Some convictions can be sealed or expunged, meaning they won’t appear on background checks. Our attorneys can determine if you qualify for record-clearing services.
