Every person accused of a
crime should immediately seek advice of highly qualified
legal counsel. The attorneys of Fortuna & Cartelli,
P.C. have over 100 years of experience representing
individuals accused of a crime.
A
criminal record is for life.
It is prudent
to have legal representation from the time of arrest
or police investigation through the final court disposition.
Fortuna & Cartelli,
P.C. will be zealous advocates
of your rights under both the State and Federal constitutions.
Being interviewed by the police without counsel or
appearing in court unrepresented can result in an
unnecessary and unfavorable disposition of your case.
Crimes are divided into two general
categories: misdemeanors and felonies. Misdemeanors
have a one-year maximum jail sentence. Felonies
are deemed much more serious than misdemeanors. Felonies carry jail sentences in excess of one year.
It's not often that someone wants to thank another
person for securing their freedom. Sitting here, my
last night at home before I go to school, I cannot
appreciate what Attorney Tom Cartelli has done for
me more. I get to eat at my school's dining hall instead
of the prison cafeteria, I get to sleep in my own
bed instead of a prison cell...<<< Michael
