Has your loved one been charged with a crime? Is it nearly impossible to get any information about the case or court procedure from your loved one's attorney? Attorneys are bound by very strict rules of confidentiality. Often times, even when your loved one gives their attorney permission to speak with family and friends, the attorney refuses. This isn't because the attorney is cruel or rude or uncaring; they simply don't have the time to have separate phone calls with every client's concerned family members and friends. Moreover, when an attorney does speak to family and friends, family and friends sometimes misunderstand or misinterpret what the attorney has said and then pass that incorrect information along to their loved one.
Over the course of nearly a decade, Attorney Benjamin Magid has handled well over a thousand criminal cases and he knows firsthand how gut-wrenching it can be for family and friends to be left in the dark. This experience is the inspiration for a new and novel practice area for Magid Law Office: Family Consulting and Advocacy. Magid Law Office will walk you through the court process.
