CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Caught in the Criminal Justice Gap?
The moment you face criminal charges, a wave of fear washes over you. That fear only intensifies when you realize you're caught in the middle: making too much to qualify for a public defender, but not enough to afford the substantial retainer most private attorneys demand upfront.
You're not alone in this terrifying middle ground.
The Financial Burden of Defense
Criminal charges bring more than just legal concerns—they bring immediate financial stress:
- Private attorneys often require $5,000–$15,000+ retainers upfront
- Public defenders are only available if you meet strict income requirements
- Your freedom, reputation, and future hang in the balance while you struggle to find representation
- Every day without proper legal guidance increases your vulnerability
This gap in the justice system leaves many hardworking individuals without the defense they deserve and need.
Affordable, Staged Representation
I understand this dilemma and offer a different approach: flat-fee representation for different stages of your case with convenient financing options. This means:
- Clear, predictable costs broken down by each phase of your case
- Payment plans that work with your financial situation
- No surprise bills or hidden fees
- Professional representation without emptying your savings
Remember: The Burden of Proof Is on Them
The prosecution must prove EVERY element of the charges against you beyond a reasonable doubt. With aggressive representation at your side, you can effectively challenge their case at every turn.
I will work tirelessly to:
- Scrutinize every piece of evidence
- Question the credibility of witnesses
- Challenge procedural violations
- Identify constitutional issues in your case
- Negotiate for reduced charges or dismissal when possible
- Prepare thoroughly for trial if necessary
Don't Face This Alone
The criminal justice system is designed to be intimidating. When you're caught in the financial gap between public defenders and traditional private attorneys, that intimidation multiplies.
You deserve representation that respects both your legal rights AND your financial reality. Contact me today to discuss your case and learn how my flat-fee, staged approach can provide the defense you need without the financial burden you fear.
