The Best Possible Result for a Gilbert DUI and Criminal Cases Comes From Knowledge Obtained Through Experience
In DUI and criminal law the necessary basis for success is knowledge gained from experience. There are no short cuts or substitutes to gain meaningful knowledge other than through experience. My background includes 44 years of day in, day out courtroom experience and having represented more than 5,000 clients. In DUI and criminal law, I know the options available to my clients for each charge they may be facing. I take great care to see each client and their families as individuals with particular problems and concerns which must be dealt with individually. Helping my clients and their families get their lives back to normal as soon as possible is always my main objective. My first goal is to find a way to get the case dismissed, however, if that is not possible I work to get the charges or sentence reduced. For any case that continues into the trial phase, I provide knowledgeable, professional, and compassionate defense, ensuring the least possible consequences should a guilty verdict be reached.
As a sole practitioner, your case will never be shifted off to an associate attorney, rather I will personally be responsible for your case from the first phone call all the way to dismissal or, if guilty, the completion of all legal obligations. As part of my service of total representation, I continue to represent my clients even years after sentencing when unanticipated problems arise. I work hard to make the process as smooth for you as possible. I am available around the clock for all of my clients and keep my prices simple with no hidden costs or trial fees, flat fees for my services, and free consultations.
I take great care to see the persons and their families behind the charge, and understand they want to resume their normal life as soon as possible. I also understand that even after the sentencing the possibility for legal problems to arise is not over.
