"Aggressive Criminal Defense Team"
.
Errol Cook, Esq. Ray Solis (Of Counsel - Se Habla Espanol)
If you or a loved one have recently been charged with a crime of any kind, it is very important that you hire an experienced criminal defense attorney or defense team now. For very serious charges, hiring an experienced defense team shows the judge and the prosecutor that you take the charges seriously and that you are willing to fight your case.
The Law Offices of Errol Cook & Associates will not only defend you in criminal court, but will also advise you of the immigration and employment consequences of the charges. Unlike other firms, our firm analyzes the consequences of your criminal case from a global perspective. The job ramifications of simply being charged with a crime can be more devastating than the sentence itself. Similarly, the life-long immigration consequences of your criminal case can be equally devastating to you and your loved ones.
Negotiation vs. Jury Trial?
In some cases it is better to negotiate a fair resolution versus risking going to trial. In other cases there is no other alternative than to go to trial and argue your case before the jury. Our experienced lawyers will advise you and your family which option is best for you. Our firm knows that our extensive court and jury trial experience puts our firm at an advantage over other defense firms. Unlike other firms who will simply hand off your case to a new lawyer in their firm, our firm will have you represented by attorneys who have practiced criminal law for numerous years. Prosecutors who know you are represented by experienced attorneys will treat your attorneys with more respect which leads to a better resolution for you. Likewise, if you decide to go to trial, you will want an attorney who has confidence in trial. A jury will know when your attorney is insecure and when your attorney is confident and experienced. Remember, an attorney who is afraid to go toe-to-toe with the prosecutor or the judge is not an advocate for you. By working with a firm that understands criminal law, you will be taking the important steps towards protecting your rights and defending your future. A criminal case is a serious matter and you should not trust your case to a firm who won't take your calls when court closes.
