Don't Try to Battle the Police, Prosecutor, and Judge Alone

If you or a loved has been charged with a crime, it is confusing, embarrassing, and frightening. To the police, you are a criminal; to the prosecutor and judge, you are a defendant. OWL Legal Services P.L.C. views you as a person in need of assistance. We will make sure your legal rights are upheld and you obtain the best possible results.

Common Legal Questions

Will I go to jail?
How do I get my bail reduced?
What if the police want to talk to me?
How do I get a copy of the police report?
How can I convince the judge and jury I didn’t do this?
How do I make sure the court looks at the evidence I have?

Experienced Legal Representation Can Make the Difference

An experienced criminal defense attorney can mean the difference between having your record cleared or going to jail and owing thousands of dollars in fines, court costs, and restitution. You need a winning criminal defense trial attorney. Your attorney will represent you throughout the entire criminal process and work to get you the best possible outcome. We may be able to:

Convince the prosecuting attorney to drop the charges if the evidence against you is weak.
Have evidence suppressed if your constitutional rights were violated at the time of arrest or during the police investigation.
Convince a jury to view facts in your favor and find you not guilty.
If evidence is against you, convince the prosecuting attorney to reduce charges or negotiate a plea offer.

Every case is unique. The facts and evidence determine the outcome. Representation by an experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney strengthens your position.

It took me a while to write this review because being arrested is a difficult experience and I've had a hard time looking back on it, but I'm writing it now because Richard went above and beyond for me when I really needed someone. After I was arrested Richard came to court immediately to help me and got me released from the holding cell within 30 minutes on a personal bond, meaning I didn't have to pay any bond. Had he not jumped into action right away I would have been stuck by myself in that holding cell over the weekend. Richard is an attorney who truly cares about the rights and freedoms of the people he represents and I am so grateful he was there to help me when I needed him.
