What to do if Charged?

Utmost Professionalism
“I stood accused of a crime that if convicted, carried a substantial jail term. My case was also complicated by an out of state component. I called several local attorneys but found David to be the only one that would listen to my entire story without a substantial retainer. It was immediately clear to me that David and his staff had the necessary experience to successfully represent my case. David’s explanations of what to expect were clear and concise. As the case proceeded through the system, David’s knowledge of each step, and subsequent steps, provided a huge amount of reassurance for me and my family. The amount of compassion and caring for me and my situation was unexpected, but greatly appreciated! Without David’s help, I undoubtedly would have been steamrolled by the courts and sitting in a jail cell now. As the holiday season approaches, my family I now have a great number of things to be thankful for—made possible by David and his staff! I would strongly recommend Decker & Jones to anyone requiring the best representation available!” – Erik
