Discuss the best strategies for your criminal defense. In many cases, a favorable outcome after felony charges have been made involves reduction of those felony charges to misdemeanor charges.

If you already have a felony or felonies on your record we can, in many cases, go to court to reduce your felony to a misdemeanor.

We have one objective for all of our clients: to obtain the best resolution of a criminal case possible. We understand the power of a plea bargain in many instances, allowing defendants benefits such as the following:

• Getting out of jail -- in many cases, community service, weekend work or rehabilitation programs may take the place of incarceration when a felony charge is reduced to a misdemeanor charge.

• Quick resolution of a criminal case -- allowing the accused to go on with a normal lifestyle in peace while the misdemeanor case is underway.

• Preventing or removing serious offenses from one's criminal record -- avoiding the build-up of a record that can prove disastrous to one's future under the "three strikes" law.

• Avoiding publicity and stigma that often accompanies a felony charge or conviction.
