If you face criminal charges, you need an experienced and aggressive lawyer to defend you. False allegations can ruin a person's life, from losing one's family, friends, and job, to losing one's liberty and having to serve time in prison. Under those circumstances, you need a lawyer who has seen the inside of a courtroom--someone who will stand up against the district attorney to protect your rights. Mr. Gerding has devoted most of his professional career to criminal defense and has defended countless clients at trial in District and Superior Court.
Even if you believe you're guilty of doing something wrong, and might have even confessed, you still need a lawyer to defend you. Maybe the police violated your constitutional rights, and evidence should be suppressed. Oftentimes, the State will charge a person with more than he is actually guilty of doing. Or the State wants the judge to put a person in prison when he really doesn't deserve that punishment. If you're in such a situation, Mr. Gerding can help.
In cases where the evidence is overwhelmingly against a person and a conviction is likely, there are many alternatives to serving time in prison, and Mr. Gerding is familiar with those options. He can help you find treatment programs for substance abuse, mental health, or anger management that might result in a reduction of charges and/or a sentence of probation without you having to serve a single day in prison.
Mr. Gerding served as an Officer in the United States Navy's Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps for six years, where the Core Values were "Honor, Courage, and Commitment." Mr. Gerding promises that if you retain him to defend you, he will treat you with honor and respect, he will have the courage to defend you every step of the way, and will commit himself to protecting you from false allegations and overzealous prosecutions.
