When individuals call my office to talk to me about their criminal case, or a personal injury claim they may have, I listen to what they have to say, and explain what their rights are.  Often times, they don’t fully understand the charges against them, or for a personal injury case, the damages they are entitled to.  But for every call, I take the time to listen, and respond to their questions in a meaningful way.
