Consider Your Options

Let's say you're a college student or young professional charged with a misdemeanor drug possession and you have your whole future ahead of you. You may know that you will be subject to background checks for certifications and/or professional licenses in fields like medicine, finance and education (along with numerous others). Or you may still not yet know what your career path will be. In either event, the threat of having your future employment opportunities limited by the possibility of a background check should help motivate you to engage a skilled criminal defense attorney to help you fight for a better outcome.

If you are charged with a crime and are not a citizen, you may face additional problems in terms of your status or renewal. You might want to speak with an immigration attorney as well about the potential impact of any deal, even a violation like Disorderly Conduct. Although a violation shouldn't account to a "crime of moral turpitude," you should still look carefully into the ramifications of your circumstances.

★★★★★
Jeremy answered his phone at 3am to help secure my son's release without bail, within hours. He went straight to the people that mattered and kept my son informed in the cells, giving him hope when no one was communicating with us. He was helpful to the extreme; very kind; very calming for my son; very confident he would be released. The fact he answered the phone, in bed, at 3am, when he was asleep was stunning - especially as no other lawyer did. They all rang back about lunchtime!!! I always felt informed; well advised and that someone was working in my son's best interest. I recommend him wholeheartedly. Sarah

Jeremy’s past experiences in working with the DA and his knowledge of the legal process was instrumental in getting my charge of unlawful surveillance dismissed. I would recommend his services to anyone who is facing serious legal charges. I found him to be professional, honest, intelligent, and I could not have had a better legal outcome than the one I received. Anonymous
