IF I HIRE YOU, WILL I HAVE TO GO TO COURT WITH YOU ON MY FIRST APPEARANCE DATE?
Answer: No, Lou Shelling will be able to make that appearance for you, advise the court that he is your lawyer, and get all the required information (for example: police reports) from the prosecutor for discussion with you.
IF I WANT TO DISCUSS MY CASE WITH YOU TO DECIDE IF I WISH TO RETAIN YOU, WHAT WILL THAT COST?
Answer: Nothing. Your initial consultation is free.
I ONLY WANT TO PLEAD GUILTY. IS THERE ANY POINT IN GETTING A LAWYER?
Answer: Definitely. For any criminal charge, there is a range of sentences available to the judge. Lou Shelling can assist you in persuading the judge to impose the lightest possible sentence in your case. In many cases, you may be able to avoid a criminal record. A considerable portion of Lou Shelling’s practice involves representing persons who wish to plead guilty.
