Criminal, Quasi-Criminal Law
LAKIN AFOLABI
With over a decade and a half of experience defending thousands of charges, I understand what’s at stake when you’re accused of a crime: your freedom, your job, and your reputation. When you retain my services, you gain peace of mind knowing you have a lawyer who has litigated over 20 jury trials to verdict and hundreds of other hearings and trials. You benefit from a brilliant team of hardworking associates, the confidence that comes with my name and reputation, and numerous recommendations from satisfied clients whose lives have been restored. But what truly sets us apart, and what offers you the most value, is our human approach to law.
What does this mean? It means I listen to you, strategize with you, and then defend you. We know the law, but you know the facts and what you need from this representation. Criminal defense is a human endeavor—something often forgotten in a fast-paced, disconnected world. We make it a point to be accessible, responsive, and available to you.
We understand that while the legal process is familiar to us, it can be foreign, intimidating, and terrifying for you. Our goal is to make this as easy as possible for you.
