I have never and will never take on more criminal or DWI cases that I can handle. Although I have a support staff which is always available to my clients, I’m the attorney who will personally resolve and take your case to trial if need be. I’ve seen a lot of criminal lawyers practice in volume, taking more cases than they can handle. This diminishes the attention they can spend on your case. These types of lawyers – and there are many – cannot give you a fraction of the personalized attention I can devote toward you and your case.
I never take on more criminal or DWI cases than I can handle at any given time. Although I do have a support staff that is continuously available to my clients, I will personally resolve your case and take it to trial if needed. I have witnessed many criminal lawyers take on more cases than they can handle, which diminishes the attention each of their clients and their cases deserve. Lawyers who handle their practices as such simply cannot give you a fraction of the personalized attention I will devote toward you and your case.
I’ve had many clients retain me after they’ve already started off with another attorney. They are very appreciative of the attention I afford them. I am extremely direct and take a one-on-one approach with all my clients, never handing off cases to other partners of my staff as other attorneys do. You deserve ONE highly-successful attorney to handle your case, and that’s what I offer. Clients facing criminal charges are already stressed. When their attorney passes their case around, this just adds more stress and worry to the table. You’ll never have to worry about that with me. When you retain me as your attorney, I will be there for you at the conception of your case until the resolution.
