Hiring An Attorney
What is a Trial Lawyer?
Many People Are Afraid To Go to Trial and Will Take a Plea.
These same people do not deserve the charges they receive and most will plead guilty out of fear. This is what the prosecutor wants but is completely unfair to the person who has to carry the burden of this charge for the rest of their life.
Many plea bargains are terrible and unfair that prey on people who simply do not know any better than what they have gotten themselves into. This is why you need an aggressive trial lawyer on your side.
Experience, Dedication and Leadership are what make a great trial attorney, and what separates Schlagel Long Rivera LLC from other attorneys.

What Does a Trial Lawyer Do?
You will meet with our firm to go over the case discussing your options and strategy that is going to be taken once at trial. We will examine all possible evidence, research past judicial decisions and interview witnesses connected to your case. We will then:
- present an opening argument,
- present evidence,
- address the judge and interview and cross-examine witnesses.
At the end of the case we will present a compelling closing argument.
