Biography
Criminal defendants have the right to a public defender, a state-designated and no-cost lawyer. These pro bono lawyers typically have heavy caseloads. Sadly, they can only give each case so much time—often less than what it needs.
Fortunately, there are private lawyers who take care to offer affordable, cost-effective legal aid—like ours at Law Office of B.D. Williams. We are proud to handle each case quickly and efficiently, wasting no time but also giving your case the time it needs and deserves.
Most legal professionals recommend getting a criminal lawyer for any type of criminal case, even for a minor charge. This is because even a minor charge may lead to a permanent criminal record, fines, jail time, strained relationships, and stigma for years to come.
The more severe the charge, the more important it is that you get a lawyer to protect your rights.
Having an attorney gives you a better shot at getting your case dismissed or charges dropped.
