“Simply the best

Maurice was able to achieve a very good outcome in my case because he was able to get past the purely emotional elements and apply the law that he knows so well. I really appreciated the fact that he kept much of the focus on what was best for my children.”

“He knows the law well and represented me very well, I highly recommend him

Maurice was the only attorney I interviewed out of ten who would give answers that were reassuring, like what the law states and how that applies to me, so many just say "i cant promise you anything!!!" but not maurice, My ex wanted everything, kids, house, to never work again, etc... Maurice told me what was my fair part to expect out of the divorce according to the law and then he got me everything he said was rightfully mine.”

Legal Answers

  • Q. 19 old daughter arrested for battery and misconduct. But she didn't physically touch the person. What will happen in crt

    If the complaining witness (victim) appears in court, then your attorney can ask for an offer from the State's Attorney so as to avoid a trial. That offer can range from court supervision to probation to jail time for up to 364 days. If you opt not to plea guilty, then the matter will be set for trial.

  • Q. if I was ticketed for possession of less than 1g cannabis and a pipe and asked to appear in court ,would i need a lawyer

    Absolutely. Even though this is a small amount of cannabis, you still face jail time upon conviction. You need an attorney to attempt to get the charge dismissed against you and avoid a conviction on your record.

  • Q. If you are charged 7500 for shooting a person but you are not guilty can a lawyer lower your bond or what happens next?

    Your attorney can always file a motion for reduction of bail bond. It all depends on what your prior criminal record shows. You should also be aware that whenever you request a reduction of bail bond, the judge can always increase the bond amount if he/she deems it appropriate.
