A felony charge will often cause a spouse to turn against the accused.

Does Hiring a Local Attorney Give You an Advantage with Your Case?

Expertise & Skill

Counsel’s skill, experience and expertise are all that matter.

Local Politics

Local counsel’s claims of knowledge of local politics won’t help you.

Judge & Prosecutor Connection Fallacy

Claimed connections by local attorneys with prosecutors and judges won’t help and may even hurt your chances.
