| Many
individuals facing criminal charges have had no prior
contact with the justice system or ever used the
services of a criminal lawyer.
If you need someone to defend you
against criminal charges, it is critical that your
lawyer fully understand the facts of your case and the
laws relating to it. Without representation, or with
less than adequate counsel, you are in a vulnerable
position and in jeopardy of losing your freedom. Do not
confront the hostile environment of the court and
prosecution alone. You have the right to an attorney -
and you need a criminal attorney
who respects you and the
significance of this event in your life. Paul J.
Tafelski is more than a criminal lawyer to his clients; he is
their representative and their voice to law enforcement,
insurance companies and the justice system. His
experience enables Paul to appreciate the anxiety and
difficulties facing clients so he treats them with
respect, honesty and courtesy. Whether he's counseling a
client regarding legal strategies or providing referrals
to help them overcome a substance abuse or anger
problem, Paul works as hard as he would for a friend or
family member in the same situation. Because he takes
the time to empathize with his clients and ensures that
they can make informed decisions regarding their
situation and options, Paul Tafelski often helps clients
make positive changes in their lives. He always works
with the client to make sure their legal troubles don't
prevent them from achieving their long term goals in
life.
Paul
Tafelski has practiced law in Michigan's state and
federal courts since 1995. He is an experienced and
aggressive litigator who has successfully represented
clients of all ages in all matters ranging from traffic
tickets to felony offenses punishable by life in prison.
Paul attributes his success to the quality of the
relationship that he shares with each client. According
to Paul, "Communication is key. It is imperative
that an attorney listen to the client and discuss the
legal strategies available. The client needs to be fully
aware of the impact of decisions they are making because
it affects their lives and future." Paul has
witnessed the unfortunate outcome for defendants whose
attorney failed to effectively communicate and therefore
failed to achieve the best results for their clients.
Paul knows that the legal system can be a jungle, and
his clients know they can depend on him to guide,
protect and fight for them as they make their journey.
