We are a NATIONALLY recognized law firm with a team of experienced criminal defense attorneys who are committed to protecting your rights and providing you with the best possible outcome for your case. We are not local and we are very upfront about that. That’s a benefit to you to you for five important reasons:
- Objective perspective: Choosing a non-local attorney will provide a fresh, objective perspective on your case. Local attorneys may be influenced by personal relationships, biases, or the desire to maintain a good reputation in their community. They may not be willing to push the negotiation or push the cross examination to the point that it is needed. A non-local attorney can provide an unbiased opinion and focus solely on the facts and evidence of your case and push to your advantage maximally without fear of unrelated or irrelevant outcomes.
- Specialized expertise: As a non-local attorneys, we specialize in certain areas of law exclusively DUI and criminal defense. We don’t do a lot of other things like dog bite cases, personal injury, divorce, and custody. We have more experience and knowledge in DUI and criminal law than local attorneys who practice a broader range of law. This will give you an advantage in your case, as your attorney, we can use our specialized expertise to build a strong defense strategy.
- No conflicts of interest: Local attorneys may have conflicts of interest that prevent them from representing you effectively. For example, they may have a personal or professional relationship with the prosecutor, the police officer, the police department or judge assigned to your case. A non-local attorney is not tied to these relationships and can represent you without any conflicts of interest.
- Better negotiation skills: As non-local attorneys we have better negotiation skills than most local attorneys. We are more familiar with the negotiation tactics used across the entire area by prosecutors and are better equipped to negotiate a favorable plea deal or reduced sentence on your behalf than some local attorneys may be. There is no bluffing us.
- Less pressure to conform: Local attorneys may feel pressure to conform to the norms and expectations of their local legal community. This can influence their approach to your case and limit their willingness to take tactical and acceptable risks or pursue unconventional strategies. As non-local attorneys, we are not bound by these pressures and can provide a more innovative and strategic approach to your defense. No cookie-cutter cases in our firm.
