Do I Plead  Guilty or Do I Fight?

When applying for a job or a loan, renting an apartment, obtaining a professional license, or buying insurance, you will be judged---and harmed—by that one mistake. Even lower end misdemeanor charges can impact you for years.Don’t Plead Guilty, without evaluating all your options including your right to fight your case. With our $40 dollar consultation and affordable payment plans, you can’t afford NOT to speak to an attorney.

My promise to you on every criminal matter-

• You can call us anytime and we will return your call within 48 hours.
• No case is too big or too small—we handle criminal cases ranging from simple misdemeanors to serious felonies.
• We don’t pressure you to take a plea on 1st or 2nd court appearance. Many criminal attorneys who charge low fees plead their clients out on the 1st or 2nd court appearance. We will advise you to accept a plea ONLY if it makes sense in light of all the facts and your wishes. Our goal is keep you keep you fully informed so that you can make the best choice for you.
• If your case goes to trial, we will seek a “Not Guilty” verdict—a criminal defense lawyer who is willing and prepared for trial often obtains a better result than a lawyer who simply “negotiates pleas.” Often just being prepared for trial in a tough case can force the prosecutor to change a plea or even withdraw the charges altogether.
• We will keep you informed at all times regarding your case.
• We will guide you through the confusing processes of the criminal justice system. We accept criminal cases in all courts in Yavapai County, including Justice courts in Mayer, Prescott, Seligman, Yarnell and in the City and Magistrate courts in Chino Valley, Prescott Valley, Cottonwood and Camp Verde.
