Questions
Do I need a lawyer even if I'm guilty?
Yes. Our goal is to minimize consequences through strategic defense, even when clients acknowledge guilt. We focus on achieving dismissals or reduced charges while protecting your rights.
Should I speak to law enforcement without an attorney?
No. Always consult a lawyer first. We advise against speaking to investigators to prevent self-incrimination and ensure your rights remain protected during criminal investigations.
Can family violence charges be dismissed if the victim doesn't want prosecution?
Not automatically. Prosecutors often pursue family violence cases regardless of victim wishes. We work to negotiate dismissals by presenting evidence and context to district attorneys.
How can immigration bonds be obtained?
We help clients request immigration bonds through court applications. Judges consider flight risk, community danger, and eligibility factors when setting bond amounts typically between $5,000-$15,000.
What happens after a criminal case dismissal?
We pursue expunctions or nondisclosure orders to clear records. Our goal ensures dismissed charges don't negatively impact future employment or legal status.
