Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer before I've been charged?

Yes. The earlier you involve a defense attorney, the more control we have to protect your rights — even before charges are filed.

What happens in a free consultation?

You’ll talk directly with a criminal lawyer. We’ll ask questions, answer yours, and explain the legal path ahead — no pressure, no commitment.

What if I can't afford a lawyer?

Let’s talk first. Every case is different, and I offer flexible options depending on the situation.

Capital Murder

Can you get my charges dropped?

It depends on the evidence, the DA, and your record. I’ve had many cases dismissed, but I’ll always give you the real answer — not false hope.

Will hiring a lawyer make me look guilty?

Not at all. Law enforcement already has a head start — hiring a lawyer just means you’re taking your future seriously and protecting your rights from the start.

Will you keep my case confidential?

Always. Everything you share stays between us. I handle every case with absolute discretion — your privacy and trust come first.
