There are times that people become involved in the Criminal Justice System as defendants. It could be you, a sibling, a child, family member or friend. The important question is not who is involved but what can be done to help. At the Law Offices of William S. Orth, P.A., we have helped thousands of people with problems in the Criminal Justice System and we can help you. As a former Prosecutor and a criminal defense lawyer for over 9 years, contact us and I can look at your case from several different perspectives to understand what your best defense is by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of your case and the prosecutor’s case.

If you, a loved one, or friend have been arrested, it is important to know your rights and what can be done to help you through the complex criminal justice system. I am able to understand the important issues related to the crime involved, the possible penalties and defenses you may have. Also important is to understand what is called the collateral consequences. This means I must be mindful of how a case is dealt with today may have serious consequences in the future. This is important in terms of applying for jobs, enrolling in school and whether or not a crime today can be held against you if you get in trouble in the future.

The criminal justice system is confusing and worrying. Contact us and I can help you to understand what is going on and help you achieve the best possible resolution for your case while understanding how this may affect in the years to come.
