About the Firm

A defense built on preparation, not promises

At Piotrowski Law Firm, criminal defense is not a sideline — it is what we do. We believe every client deserves a lawyer who answers the phone, explains the process in plain language, and prepares each case as if it is going to trial.

Prosecutors are well-resourced and the system can feel designed to move people through it. Our role is to slow that machinery down: to examine how evidence was gathered, to hold the state to its burden of proof, and to make sure your side of the story is heard.

“An accusation is not a conviction. Everyone is entitled to a vigorous defense.”

Common Questions

What to know if you’ve been charged

General information only — not legal advice. Every case is different. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation.

I’ve just been arrested. What should I do right now?

Stay calm and be polite, but exercise your right to remain silent. Clearly state that you want a lawyer, and avoid discussing your case with anyone — including over jail phones — until you have spoken with one.

Should I talk to the police to clear things up?

Generally, no. You are not required to answer questions beyond identifying yourself, and well-meaning explanations can be misunderstood or used against you. It is almost always best to have a lawyer present.

Do I really need a lawyer for a misdemeanor?

Even “minor” charges can carry jail time, fines, and a permanent record that affects jobs and housing. An attorney can often reduce or resolve charges in ways that are difficult to achieve on your own.

How much does a criminal defense lawyer cost?

Fees depend on the charges, the complexity of the case, and how far it proceeds. We will explain our fee structure clearly during your consultation so there are no surprises.

What’s the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

Broadly, misdemeanors are less serious offenses with lighter potential penalties, while felonies carry the possibility of longer incarceration and more lasting consequences. The exact definitions vary by jurisdiction.

Can my charges be dismissed or my record cleared?

Sometimes. Depending on the facts and your jurisdiction, charges may be dismissed or reduced, and certain records may later be expunged or sealed. We can assess your eligibility during a consultation.

Don’t face the charges alone.

The sooner you have an attorney, the more options you have. Reach out today — your consultation is free and confidential.
