If I am defending you, I will stand firmly behind you through all phases of your case:

Bail: I will fight for your release from jail in all cases – whether on your own recognizance (with no bail), or on a reasonable and affordable bail. I will advise you of the wisest courses of action (if you are required to post your real estate or other property as bail).

Arraignment: When the court notifies you of your charges, I will file a motion to reduce your bail. Or seek your release without bail  I will plead not guilty for you. If you are charged with a misdemeanor, I can appear without you if you so desire. I will provide you with all the information you need to make the right choices at this time.

Pre-Trial: At your pre-trial appearances, I will vigorously argue inconsistencies, falsehoods, or illegal aspects of your arrest. If a plea bargain is in your best interest, I will negotiate the best possible disposition for you.

Preliminary Examination: If you are accused of a felony, I will represent you at this evidentiary hearing. I will aggressively cross examine the governments witness, seek to exclude illegal evidence and when advisable, present evidence in support of your defense. At the conclusion of the hearing I will seek to have your charges reduced or dismissed. Attorney William Linehan will pressure the prosecution to prove its case and vehemently advocate for your position.

Jury Trial: By the time your case comes before a jury, I know the details of it inside and out. I am meticulously prepared to bring trial motions to get rid of certain evidence, select a jury, and try the case. A jury trial may last from three days to many months. I advocate for your rights and your freedom every step of the way.
