Our Law Firm understands the fear and anxiety that individuals charged with a first time criminal offense experience; the prospect of losing your freedom and the fear of the unknown. These feelings are intensified for first-time offenders. Let us help you determine if you or a loved one may be able to avoid a criminal record.

At the Law office of Joel R. Salinger, P.C. our goal is to alleviate as many of these fears as possible. We can provide you with information about the criminal process, so you will know what to expect. And, although we cannot guarantee any particular results, our attorney can provide you with information and legal advice based upon his more than 14 years of experience in criminal law.

Whether you are charged with a first time theft crime, first time DWI/DUI, or a first time juvenile offense, we can help you understand your options and provide you with sound advice on your best course of action.
