A Former Prosecutor And Criminal Law Expert
A Criminal Law Specialist and Former Prosecutor
More Than 25 Years Of Criminal Defense Experience
If you are facing any type of criminal offense charge or are subject to a criminal investigation by state or federal law enforcement, you need an experienced defense attorney. Your future is at risk, in terms of incarceration in jail or a state or federal prison, heavy fines, and other court-mandated penalties.
For a person convicted of a criminal offense, the consequences can be dire. Your criminal history can be viewed by future employers, landlords, state licensing agencies, educational institutions, and members of the public. A criminal conviction can have lifelong ramifications in your personal and professional life.
Fighting the negative consequences of criminal charges should be your top priority. You can obtain legal advice, guidance and representation at both the state and federal levels from our attorney at The Downey Law Firm.
