Why Hire a Santa Barbara Criminal Defense Attorney?

Do you know the various laws, and how to approach prosecutors and judges? Is your public defender more interested in quickly making deals with the prosecutor than fighting for your best interests? With so much at stake in a criminal case, take control of your future and freedom by hiring our proven defense lawyers at Appel & Morse.
