Powerful Criminal Defense For All Types Of Charges
Even if you’re charged with a misdemeanor, the penalties can be stiff, including tens of thousands of dollars in fines and up to a year in jail. Depending on the crime, your ability to get a job or financial aid for college may be impacted. Some types of crimes, like fraud or theft, may mean you can’t get a job in any money-handling or financial position.
If you’re facing felony charges, you’re probably scared, wondering who can help you and if anyone will believe your story. When you work with our Bloomington criminal defense attorney, we protect you from the moment you become our client. We guide you in police questioning, ensuring you don’t inadvertently incriminate yourself and advising you on what to say and when to be silent. Our legal team also investigates how the case against you was developed, including examining whether your 4th amendment rights were violated in collecting evidence against you or whether your rights were violated during your arrest.
Most of all, we support you, listen to your story, and develop a strong case for your innocence. We conduct our own investigation into the situation and question all the evidence that the prosecutor has. We’re by your side at every step, from the initial arraignment to any hearings and pre-trial matters. We’re committed to the best possible outcome for your case, whether that means having your charges dropped, being found innocent at trial, or negotiating a great plea deal with the prosecutor.
We’re tough: Our lawyers can tackle even the most difficult cases. And we’re local: We know the local judges and prosecutors and how they think, and we use our insider knowledge to your benefit.
