Delay at your own risk.

If you are a professional and have found yourself in the unfortunate position of being the target of an internal company investigation, or you have been charged with a crime, it is critical to discuss your situation with Attorney Paletta before speaking with ANYONE, especially law enforcement or an internal company investigator.  The actions you take first may determine your options later.  In other words, if your speak to law enforcement or an internal company investigator, you are likely to make "admissions" or "statements against your interest."  This circumstance will make it much more difficult if not impossible to present an effective defense even if one existed before making a statement.
Confer with Attorney Paletta first, understand your rights and possible defenses, and keep all your options open.  When in doubt, remain silent and consult with Attorney Paletta.

RETAIN A LAWYER WHO KNOWS THE TENDENCIES OF YOUR JUDGE


If you are being prosecuted for any crime, including crimes such as Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol (DUI) or Possession with the Intent to Deliver (PWID) Narcotics, you as the Defendant have many critical decisions to make.  The first decision you must make is which lawyer to hire.  When making this decision, be certain not to confuse a lawyer who is a good marketer/advertiser with a lawyer who actually knows his profession and performs his job well.

 One aspect of being a good criminal defense lawyer and performing that job well is knowing the tendencies of the Judge to which your case is assigned.  This is significant for purposes of informing the Client of what to expect in the worst case scenario.  For example, for a DUI conviction, certain Judges will not permit Home Electronic Monitoring or “House Arrest” for a third (3rd) DUI conviction.  Also, for a Narcotics conviction, certain Judges will sentence an older person more harshly than a younger person because an older person should make better decisions.  Retaining a lawyer who is familiar with these tendencies helps the lawyer to advise the Client to make better decisions.  

To discuss this topic further, you are invited to contact Attorney Joseph Paletta to schedule an office consultation.  E-mail joseph@palettalaw.com  or call 412.391.7999.
