DON'T GO TO JAIL!

THE NIGHTMARE OF ARREST AND PROSECUTION is the worst experience most people can imagine.

When you find yourself the target of a federal or state criminal investigation, or if you have the misfortune to be arrested, you will quickly learn that the investigative and prosecutorial forces of the state or United States governments are awesomely stronger than the capabilities of any single defendant. You will immediately need the help of an able and experienced criminal defense lawyer.

YOU CANNOT RELY ON THE PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE, no matter what you read in your high school civics textbook. Every defense lawyer and every prosecutor knows that there is a much stronger presumption at work in a criminal trial: the jury’s presumption that if the police arrested you, you must have done what you’re accused of – or, if not this, perhaps something even worse!

WHEN YOU ARE ACCUSED OF A CRIME, THE CARDS ARE STACKED AGAINST YOU. The past thirty years have seen an unprecedented and uninterrupted expansion of the power of the government against defendants. Evidence rules have been relaxed for the prosecution and tightened against the defense. Prior convictions weigh against the accused more gravely than ever before. “Three Strikes” defendants receive long sentences for relatively minor crimes. The result is that there are now roughly SIX TIMES AS MANY PRISON INMATES as there were thirty years ago. Don’t be one of them!

If you become my client, I promise you the most vigorous and aggressive defense I can mount, tailored to achieving the best possible resolution of your individual case. I promise you a cold-eyed and objective analysis of your case and its circumstances at every step of the proceedings. Finally, I promise to keep you informed, both about what's happening in your case, and what I think is likely to happen next. No honest lawyer ever promises a particular result to any client. But you may be sure that I will bring to bear all my intelligence, my experience and my education on any individual's problem. I understand that there is no such thing as a small case when it's your case.
