We listen – Every client whom we represent comes to us with different concerns and desired outcomes. Some individuals are worried about the impact that a charge will have on their job or housing situation, while others are fighting to stay out of jail or prison. Our attorneys will take the time to gain a clear understanding of your specific concerns; and we will work with you to develop a strategy that will guide us toward the outcome that you desire.

We explain – For many of our clients, the criminal justice system is uncharted territory. However, even for those with experience in the criminal justice system, criminal proceedings can create a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty.  Peace of mind is gained through understanding this process as it unfolds.  At Strootman Law Office, we take special care to ensure that our clients understand the precise nature of the offense with which they have been charged, the range of potential penalties, and the collateral consequences that may follow from a conviction. 

We zealously advocate – Our attorneys possess the knowledge and creativity that are needed to spot unique issues that others may overlook; as well as the skill needed to craft sound arguments based on those issues. However, effective advocacy doesn’t just involve making effective arguments to a judge; it also involves negotiating with and persuading prosecutors, probation/parole agents, and social workers outside of the courtroom. For this reason, our attorneys will advocate for you on all fronts, and will explore all possible avenues in order to obtain the best possible outcome in your case.
