It's A Calling: Criminal Defense
Most people become nervous or intimidated just thinking about being involved in the criminal justice system. This is a completely natural and understandable reaction. However, for the attorneys at The Bax Law Firm, the criminal justice system is a house we have lived in for many years and there is no hallway, room, or even closet that we are not familiar with. For us, it is not just a job. It’s a calling. All the attorneys at The Bax Law Firm have a keen interest in the practice of criminal defense. Successful navigation through the criminal justice system takes an experienced, level-headed attorney who knows the system, knows the players, and knows the traps and pitfalls, yet can also think outside the box and delivers results. We take pride in how we deal with our clients. No criminal case is too small, no criminal case is too large for us to handle. We have vast years of experience representing clients in numerous jurisdictions, from U.S. District Court as well as municipal and magistrate courts. Our clients come from all walks of life and each brings with them a different experience and expectation. At this firm, we take all of that into account when we defend our clients. We understand that different clients have different concerns and needs. We understand that most people do not know or really understand the system that they have been thrown into. It is our job help you make sense of the law and guide you through the process.
Your Case Is Important To Us
Whether you are charged with a Simple Assault and Battery or Murder, your case is important to us. We also handle DUI (Driving Under the Influence) as well as BUI (Boating Under the Influence) charges. We also deal with juvenile offense which could make the difference in your loved one, getting back on track or going down a long road of exposure with the criminal justice system. We have made a commitment to keeping up with the latest breakthroughs in forensics, both in the field and through relevant case law.
When other attorneys have questions about the use of DNA evidence and testing, they call our firm.
Based on our years of experience, we cannot stress enough how important it is to obtain an attorney at the earliest possible opportunity, even if you have not yet been charged with a crime. Countless Defendants who have not immediately sought counsel from an experienced criminal defense attorney, have found themselves starting in a worse position than they would have been if they had retained competent counsel from the very beginning. Without that experienced attorney beside you, you can unknowing waive or give up certain rights, such as requesting a preliminary hearing, or receiving a bond on your own recognizance, that you are entitled to.
Everyone deserves a good defense, no matter who they are or what the circumstance. Contact us today and let us see how we can help you navigate the system and get you back on track.
