Firm Overview

We believe in a person’s right to be presumed innocent until proven otherwise. We also believe that proving guilt should always be an uphill battle for the prosecution, never a slam dunk. As former prosecutors ourselves, we have seen too many defendants plead out or get slapped with harsh sentences because they didn’t have adequate legal representation. Don’t let that happen to you.

At the Law Offices of Jonathan F. Marshall, our experienced attorneys are widely recognized for developing smart defense strategies that are tailored to our clients’ needs. We approach each case from a unique perspective – looking at it through the prosecution’s eyes and from a defense standpoint.

Whether you’re facing a minor infraction or a serious criminal charge, you should know your rights and understand how a conviction or plea deal could affect your future.

What Our Clients Say

“My son was arrested on serious drug charges. I did my research and decided to retain Jon after much time and effort. As it turned out, I could not have made a sounder decision… We are happy to say that our son has avoided jail and many of the severe penalties that seemed almost inevitable.”

What You Should Be Asking When You Interview Criminal Defense Attorneys

Many of the people we talk to want to interview a few attorneys before they choose someone to represent them. That’s understandable because, after all, your choice of attorney could be one of the biggest decisions you ever make.

You may be tempted to base your choice of attorney on the firm’s touted local connections or the “low” rate they are offering. Don’t let the little things overshadow the big picture:

Your future is on the line. You need an attorney with the experience to fight for it.

Ask Our Attorneys Any Question

855-450-8310

When interviewing criminal defense attorneys, you should know what questions to ask:

  • How many years of experience do you have handling criminal cases?
  • Have you handled cases like mine before? What were the outcomes?
  • How many cases have you argued before a jury? What is your verdict record?
  • How will you investigate my case and build a defense?
  • How often will you be available to talk to me as my case proceeds?

We Help You Weigh All the Factors

In many situations, an individual facing a disorderly persons charge or serious traffic violation might be tempted to plead guilty, pay the fine, and get on with life. If you’re considering a quick guilty plea just to get rid of the case, we encourage you to think again. What appear to be minor consequences now can follow you around and make things difficult for you in the future.

Only an experienced criminal defense attorney can give you a good idea of the long-range considerations that you should bear in mind when deciding whether to fight a criminal charge of any kind. Our lawyers have a well-earned reputation for combining practical, solution-focused advice with extensive courtroom experience to give you an advantage in the fight for a satisfactory resolution.

Our seasoned attorneys can explain how any decision you make regarding your case could affect your life in the future. We always take your interests into account while developing and executing a smart criminal defense strategy tailored to your unique circumstances.

Among the factors to bear in mind when facing criminal charges are how a conviction could affect your:

  • Driver’s license
  • Right to own a gun
  • Child custody or visitation arrangements
  • Public access to your criminal record
  • Employment prospects
  • Professional or business licenses
  • Immigration status
  • Security clearance
  • Housing options
