The Criminal Justice System

The following Hyperlinks (below) will take you to over twenty five webpages full of information on the Criminal Justice System.

Often when we are in a crisis we are desperate for information that will clarify what is happening to us so that we can make good decisions among our options. My website is dedicated to that theme.

As an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney, I work hard to represent my clients at every stage in the case. While I advise my clients as to what I think they should do when they must make an important decision, unlike many in my profession, I don’t “treat” my clients. Decisions are made jointly, calmly and intelligently with every opportunity for participation by the client in the formulation of each critical move.

I hope the following topics prove helpful to you. Please contact me should you desire a consultation to see if you need an attorney.
