Hi my name is Seth Okin, and I became a criminal defense attorney because I realized at any
point in time, when your freedom is on the line, you should have an attorney.
Your freedom is all to important, and staying out of jail should be a priority. And if unfortunately
you are in a position where something may have happened, you need the representation
and you need the guidance to get yourself on the right path to succeed in court.
Success may not be that you are found not guilty, but there is mitigation, and there
are other factors involved that an attorney can guide you with.
But before you even get to that final point the facts of the case are what matters. I
empower my clients to understand what is going on. I give them information to understand
what I know. I can't teach you to become a lawyer, but I can teach you to know exactly
what is going on, to understand the actual trial, and know all the things that the state
is going to present that may try and prove you to be guilty.
Its the state's job, we don't do it for them, they have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that your guilty of any crime, be it the smallest of a speeding ticket to the biggest of DUIs,
drug trials and other felonies.
Its all too important for you to be well aware of whats going on. As much as I can teach
you, as much as I can give you to understand and know what is going on, you become the biggest benefit to me.
Everything that you tell me is considered to be the truth. And I want to make sure that
when we go to trial, I know your story. I know what you said happened. And if the state
presents something different, we have room to argue. We have points to argue, and what
we need to do is make sure that the truth comes out, and that it is the whole truth.
We want you to have your day in court to be as effective as possible, and in doing that,
we create an opportunity for you to be successful.
There is a lot that a criminal defense attorney can provide for you. Number one is a defense,
and number two is protection and number three is communication.
I'm available for my clients, I empower them to make good decisions, and also I encourage
them to be in contact with me and touch base with me at all times.
