Defending You Tooth and Nail
What does it mean to be a traffic and criminal defense lawyer?
My job is to defend you tooth and nail. You are my one and only responsibility. I have to fight as hard as I can to get your case dismissed. PERIOD!
Even if the prosecutor does his job and the ticketing officer does his job, if I can still get your case dismissed, that’s what I do.
The prosecutor and the police have a duty to enforce the laws of the Commonwealth. Their role is to make sure government works. And the prosecutor is supposed to do it ethically and fairly.
The judge has to preside over the case and make sure justice is served.
They have broad duties to all citizens.
My duty is only to you and my other clients. That’s it.
I’m certainly bound by ethics rules that apply to all attorneys. For example, I can’t lie to the court. But if I can get your case dismissed within those ethical lines, that’s my job.
Yes, even if you did what you’re accused of. We’ll still fight to get the case dismissed.
If that’s not possible, I’ll do my best to get the charge reduced to something lesser or to at least minimize the punishment.
You deserve better than an attorney who blindly accepts the standard plea agreement.
You deserve a true defense.
