APPROACH TO REPRESENTATION. The law acts as both a sword and a shield for the protection of society.  At the same time, the Criminal Justice System creates a strain on not only the accused but on family, friends, and employers.  Skill and experience from having worked on both the prosecution and defense sides of the courtroom are brought to bear for every client that entrusts LHJ LAW with his or her case.  Beyond skill and experience, it is the degree of diligence and compassion in working a case that has the greatest impact on results.. Clients seeking legal representation are not only looking for an attorney with a high level of skill and experience in the legal realm, but also a lawyer with a powerful and personable demeanor who understands a client's thoughts and feelings as a unique individual and can effectively translate them to the courtroom.. Clients rightly expect a high level of personalized attention to their cases.  They also often prefer that the attorney they hire will be the attorney handling their case(s) in and out of the courtroom.  Many referred clients have stated that these were significant factors in their decision to retain LHJ LAW and the office has structured its practice to successfully deliver on these expectations.
