Facing any criminal charge — whether a misdemeanor or felony — tends to bring up an array of unpleasant emotions. Not only is the situation scary and stressful, but more often than not, it’s just flat-out confusing, too. The good news: we know both sides of the criminal process. You see, three of our attorneys (Jon, Sarah, and Katheryn) were prosecutors before they were criminal defense attorneys. This experience gives our firm the unique ability to not only explain the legal process in plain English, but to also strategize your case in a way that takes the prosecution’s perspective into account.
The operative word here is “guide.” We can’t make decisions for you, and neither should anyone else. That being said, we are happy to explain all of your options, answer all of your questions, and talk your case over with you and your family if that’s what you’d like to do.
