Please note, these results are not a prediction or guarantee for a future outcome if you were to hire this office to represent you or a family member on similar charges. Every case is different, and results vary based on the unique facts of the case including but not limited to: the defendant’s prior criminal record, the Deputy District Attorney assigned to the case, and the Judge.
