Whether it’s a Misdemeanor or Felony Case, You Need an Experienced Criminal Defense Lawyer
Just because you have been arrested, does not mean you will be ultimately charged with a criminal offense. The time to hire an attorney is right after you are arrested. You need an experienced attorney, like Sal, to investigate your case while it is being screened at the District Attorney’s office. During that screening process, a decision will be made whether to prosecute you for the charge that you were originally arrested. As your advocate, the best person to speak to the DA’s office during the screening process, is your attorney.
Being charged with a crime is a stressful experience that can have far‑reaching consequences in your life. If it is a felony that you are ultimately charged with, serious consideration needs to be given on what the ”convicted felon” label will have on your life. Therefore, you need an experienced attorney, who knows the system and the law, like Sal. The district attorney’s office will have a team of people who pool their resources to build a case against you, so it is vital that you have a strong advocate protecting your rights.
Sal uses his over two decades of combined legal and law enforcement experience to provide you with the effective representation that you need in these situations.
