Why Work with a Former Police Officer and Narcotics Investigator?
If you have been charged with a crime, choosing the right criminal defense lawyer to represent your case is crucial to minimizing your chances of conviction. Since your attorney will likely have your freedom and future in their hands, it is important you choose an attorney that is well-qualified and can provide the unbiased support you need. As such, an attorney’s professional background, certifications, and experience should all be extremely important factors that influence your decision.
