The Best Defense Is a Smart Defense. Get the Facts.
When you face criminal charges, the evidence against you plays a significant role. Our law firm has taken on numerous cases involving complex evidence. We know the vital importance of challenging key evidence in criminal matters.
As a former prosecutor, Attorney VanHo understands how to develop a well-prepared defense that may stand up against even the toughest evidence. Our legal team is not afraid to contest proof in court and is skilled at getting unfair evidence thrown out.
No matter the charges you are up against, you face life-changing consequences. A criminal conviction can result in steep penalties, ranging from time behind bars to thousands of dollars in fines. In addition to that, your record will suffer a permanent mark.
You could have difficulty finding a job, getting into college, or finding desirable housing. The repercussions of your criminal conviction can extend far beyond just jail time and fees. The good news is that you have defense options that can be used to avoid such penalties. Our firm is ready to stand up for your rights and fight for your future.
