John M. Vazanellis understands the seriousness of your situation and has the experience to help you present a vigorous defense. Many people are reluctant to hire a defense lawyer before they are charged, even when they’re being investigated for a violent crime. They worry that retaining an attorney will make them “look guilty,” or they are just concerned about the cost.
However, the benefits of quickly hiring a defense lawyer in the early stages of an investigation are immense. Most people are unfamiliar with the legal system, and being introduced to it through a criminal investigation is a recipe for mistakes that could haunt you for years.
The Courts can be complicated places, and there’s a reason every court system discourages defendants from representing themselves. As a former Lake County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, John Vazanellis understands the criminal case process and how the State will proceed with its prosecution.
If you have been arrested or questioned by the authorities for any type of criminal case, please contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation.
