Facing a criminal charge can feel overwhelming, confusing, and even scary. You’re suddenly thrown into a world of deadlines, procedures, and unknowns. My role isn’t just to handle the legal side, it’s also to make sure you don’t feel lost or alone in the process.
Here are some of the most common questions I get, and how I approach them:
Q: How do you support clients during a criminal case?
A: First and foremost, I listen. I know how heavy this experience can be, and having someone truly hear you makes a difference. Clear communication, regular check-ins, and space to ask questions are all part of how I make sure you feel understood and supported.
Q: Isn’t it just about the legal strategy?
A: Strategy is a huge piece, but there’s also a very real human side. A criminal case can take an emotional toll. That’s why I explain each step, prepare you for what’s ahead, and offer guidance you can count on. It’s not just about the courtroom. It’s about helping you get through the whole journey.
Q: The process feels so unpredictable. How do you make it less overwhelming?
A: By giving you clarity. I’ll walk you through what’s happening now, what’s coming next, and why it matters. When you know the road ahead, you feel more in control even when the situation itself is tough.
Q: What does “being there” look like?
A: It’s about keeping you in the loop. That means prompt updates, quick responses, and making sure you never have to wonder what’s going on. I want you to feel respected, informed, and comfortable asking anything, big or small.
Q: What’s your overall approach to criminal defense?
A: Compassion + clarity. I fight hard on the legal side, but I also show up with empathy. My goal is for you to feel steady and supported, not just on court days, but every step along the way.
