Our Criminal Defense Practice

When you hire Jerry Lykins to defend you on criminal charges, he will provide you with:

• Information and education. Jerry will carefully explain your rights and responsibilities, so that you know what you can and cannot do. He will make certain that you understand the criminal process and the potential penalties you face, as well as all of your options as your case unfolds. He will also advise you of the potential consequences of the different choices you can make, including the impact on your right to drive or on your insurance rates.
• Case management. Jerry will regularly evaluate the evidence and your likelihood of acquittal, so that he can advise you whether you should consider a plea arrangement or take your case to trial. He will always look for the most cost-effective way to meet your objectives.
• Legal review. Jerry will use his experience to determine whether there is any legal maneuvering that can be done to improve your position or outcome, and whether you should plead guilty, seek a plea bargain, or take your case to trial.
