Frequently Asked Questions
Should I talk to the police without a lawyer?
No. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Anything you say can be used against you. Contact us before speaking with law enforcement about any criminal matter.
What's the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?
Misdemeanors are less serious offenses carrying lighter penalties (typically under one year in jail). Felonies are more serious and carry potential prison time. Both can have lasting consequences on your record. We handle both.
