Up Town lawyer — Richard L. Collins

As a criminal defense attorney, I search for the truth and impress on clients that I want the truth and will not continue to defend if I find a client lying to me. I will not defend a client if I think he is not telling me the truth. I will not enter a plea that I believe is not the truth (either you plea bargain or find another attorney. I like constitutional law, and I continuously study criminal law. My goal is always to interpret the law so that the law will work in my favor and give my client a valid defense. If my investigation proves my client is lying to me, I will terminate my association quickly which sometimes results in me having problems with the State Bar of California.MISSION STATEMENTIN LAWFUL COURTS OF LAW IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, I WILL DEFEND AND PROTECT INNOCENT VICTIMS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY OR RESOURCES TO DEFEND AND PROTECT THEMSELVES. ABOVE ALL, I WILL ALWAYS SEARCH FOR AND BASE MY POSITION ON THE TRUTH.
