“do you even need to hire a criminal defense attorney so I get that question a lot and the best way that I can answer it is by giving another example A lot of people don't have familiarity with the criminal justice system or with hiring a lawyer so it's helpful to look at it in terms of what people do know everyone has had an experience when they were sick or had some relative that was sick or had some severe injury and they know okay I need to go to the hospital I need to go see a doctor everyone can relate to that”
“same thing with criminal defense even if you have a minor speeding ticket or traffic ticket in court yes you could handle it on your own but why would you want to why wouldn't you want to take advantage of the experience and the knowledge that a criminal defense attorney can provide and bring to your case”
“if you're in a courtroom and you're negotiating with a prosecutor you can do that but there are a lot of things that may happen that you may not be aware of or know to look for and unfortunately even though there's a whole lot of information on the internet the internet does not have all of the knowledge and it doesn't have it all correct”

“lawyers are qualified professionals just like doctors just like mechanics when you have an issue come see a criminal defense attorney and they can guide you through that process and make sure that you're avoiding any potential pitfalls and you're getting the absolute best expertise to handle your case”
