Finding Alternatives In Your Sentencing
One of the greatest advantages of working with a compassionate, experienced and intelligent defense attorney is the lawyer’s knowledge of sentencing alternatives. You may not succeed at getting your case dismissed in the early stages, but you may still have a favorable outcome if your lawyer successfully negotiates a sentencing alternative that you can live with and a judge will accept.
