Why Should I hire a Criminal Lawyer?

When a person is arrested or is under investigation for a criminal offense, it can be difficult to know what to do. The arresting officer or other law enforcement personnel may have told you that there is no hope of avoiding a conviction.  In exploring all your options with a competent criminal lawyer at your side, you can decide your best course of action.  Mark can investigate your case in order to determine what can be done to protect your rights. You can have full confidence that he will work to gather evidence and witness testimony on your behalf and develop a strategy to optimize your chance for a favorable outcome. Just because you have been arrested does not mean that you have lost your rights.  The U.S. Constitution grants you the right to legal counsel!
