Felony Charges: Lambaria Law defends all felony charges. One part of what makes us so effective is being unafraid to fight the case with motions or go to trial. The willingness to fight often results in the obtaining better plea deals than lawyers who roll over into the plea deal every time.
Hiring an experienced attorney is essential because felonies carry the risk of prison time. Being incarcerated would mean missing car payments, housing payments, and otherwise suffering immensely. Having a felony on your record can mean missing out on job opportunities, loans, and housing options. Give yourself the best chance at protecting your future by investing in the right criminal defense attorney.
Misdemeanor Offenses: Misdemeanor offenses are typically less serious crimes compared to felonies, but they can still carry the risk of jail time and can tarnish your criminal record.
The misdemeanors that tend to carry the highest risk of jail time include domestic violence, drunk driving, animal abuse, and child abuse. If you are charged with any of those misdemeanor offenses, it is especially important to hire the right defense attorney.
Public Defenders vs. Private Lawyers: when deciding whether to retain counsel or use a public defender, the reality is that there are some public defenders who will perform just fine, but there are many others that will have no problem selling you out just to move the case along. It is truly a toss-up on whether you get a talented defender or someone who has no incentive to make your case a priority. With their excessive caseloads, they may be incentivized to encourage you to plead guilty as fast as possible. You may wonder if you can afford to retain a private defense attorney, but what you cannot afford is to take chances when it comes to your freedom in a court system that streamlines convictions. Lambaria Law vows to always put its clients' best interests first.

Post-Conviction Services: Appellate law is typically too complex to navigate on one's own.
