Criminal Defense
Skilled Missouri Criminal Defense Attorney
Many criminal defense clients feel embarrassed and uncomfortable discussing their legal troubles with a lawyer. We aren’t here to judge our clients; we’re here to help. As your law firm, we need as much information as possible in order to be effective advocates. We are understanding and respectful towards our clients in order to establish open and honest attorney/client relationships.
At Sotta & Briggs, we are committed to helping our clients understand the criminal justice process and how their cases fit into that process. Too many lawyers take on cases without giving their clients the time to explain what happened. As a result, the lawyers don’t really understand what their clients are facing. We are willing to give clients the time they need to explain their situations so that we can effectively inform them regarding their options.
