My 3 Core Values as a Criminal Defense Attorney
1. Non-Judgment
You always deserve to be treated with respect, compassion, and dignity. Whether you made a one-time mistake, are falsely accused, or are charged for what is really a misunderstanding, I don’t judge. My job is to help. Simple as that.
Whatever you are accused of doing, you deserve not only a strong defense but also an attorney who is truly on your side, who will listen to you with compassion, and who actually cares about you.
2. Clear and Direct Communication
You should always know what is happening with your case. This means ongoing communication between me and you that is honest and open. My job is neither to sugarcoat things nor to needlessly scare you. My job is to explain to you everything you need to know to make informed choices. This means taking the time to talk about the good, the bad, and everything in between.
3. Thorough Preparation
You always deserve an attorney who is thoroughly prepared from day one through the conclusion of your case.
I prepare as if every case is going to trial. True – most cases don’t go to trial, but when you prepare as if they will you tend to find yourself in a stronger position to get a favorable outcome. In particular, you find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case from the start. You follow up with your own investigation. You give your client real options and real results.
True preparation means knowing every fact, understanding every legal angle, and being ready for whatever the prosecutor throws at us. And the bottom line is that strong preparation from day one is what helps you win in court. Simple as that.
