1. 1) The system is complicated and courtrooms are cavernous, frightening places for many of those unfamiliar with them. Let us be your lighthouse to guide you through these turbulent waters. We don’t judge and we won’t talk to you like you’re below us. In fact, when we hear other lawyers do that to their clients it makes us mad. We’ll treat you like you should be treated all the while working our hardest to get you the result that’s best.
2. 2) Our fee is our fee. Nothing more nothing less.
3. 3) We’re in court so often that we know the players in the game. Having familiarity with the spokes in the wheel never hurts when you need a Prosecutor to trust your representations to them in order to facilitate the best possible result in a case.
4. 4) We try cases. This is important because we also win cases and acquittals are what you want in this business. The fact that we try cases is known and that’s leverage to get better deals for our clients that don’t want to go to trial.

6. 6) You can get in touch with us. Imagine that! An attorney that’s accessible.
