Class B Misdemeanor For Theft

The morning I was bonded out of jail after being charged with a Class B misdemeanor for shoplifting, I started looking for an attorney to represent me. I have never been arrested or been in any kind of legal trouble before, so needless to say I was terrified about what I was going through. A friend o...f mine recommended Cavita Sharma, so I decided to give her a call and set up an appointment. The first thing I noticed about Cavita Sharma and Michael Slider was that they were very upfront and honest with me. They explained to me what exactly I was charged with and ran through all the possible scenarios and outcomes regarding what I was facing (up to 180 days and $2,000 fine). They answered all the questions I had and were very patient with me in terms of setting some sort of a flexible payment plan. Ms. Sharma has shown up to every court date I have had and thanks to her hard work, I am under the pretrial diversion program which means after a year of probation, my case will be dismissed. After two years, I can file for my case to be expunged and it will be erased off my record entirely. I really do recommend both Cavita Sharma and Michael Slider to anyone. Both are very knowledgeable, reliable, and trustworthy lawyers. I hope I never have to use their services again, but if I do then I know exactly who to go to contact.

Thank God I hired Mr. Slider

I was involved in Misdemeanor Harrassment case and he walked me through the entire process. From Bail to court. He was strategic and communicated exceptionally well. The criminal process is frustrating and difficult, but he explained how it would work and what he would attempt to do. I was given ...a Pre-Trial Intervention and it was removed from my record.

Good lawyer

Mr. Slider was honest about my options in a very embarrassing matter. I was stupid and got arrested on a drug charge.. He didn't sugar coat anything about what I was facing. His fees were affordable and I liked that he was able to get probation for me even tho the prosecutor was pushing hard for jail... time. He stood in front the judge and argued why I deserve probation. With his help I stayed out of jail and my family is supporting my rehabilitation so I can change my life. That's priceless.

Great criminal attorney

Helped me along the entire legal process and even assisted with things outside my case. Took time to explain everything, got my case dismissed and had reasonable fees.
