When charged with a crime, the importance of hiring an excellent criminal defense attorney cannot be underestimated. Cost can be a major factor for those in need of legal representation, who have two choices, to use a public defender or hire a private attorney. Of course there is no fee if you use a public defender, put that doesn’t mean there isn’t a ‘cost’.
As the economy crisis in California worsens, the state has made many budget cuts and the Public Defender’s office has felt the squeeze. Most offices are understaffed and overworked, which means less time for your court appointed attorney to focus on your case. The obvious risk is that you won’t get the best legal advice and defense. The cost to you may be your freedom, monetary fines, loss of employment and other long term damage from a criminal conviction.
At the Law Firm of David M. Wallin we are committed not only to providing the best legal defense possible for our clients, at a competitive price, but we also work with them to find a payment plan that works for them in these tough economic times.
Our team of attorneys and staff has the time to thoroughly investigate evidence, interview witnesses and work towards the best possible outcome for each client. We carefully evaluate any offer made by the district attorney and give the pros and cons of accepting or declining the offer. We will never pressure you to take a deal just to settle the case quickly.
Navigating the criminal justice system can be a frightening and confusing experience. At Wallin Law we take the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions, something an overworked public defender may not have the time to do.
Before you make your choice, please call for a free consultation.
