Our Areas of Practice: Criminal Defense and Personal Injury
In the area of criminal defense, The Law Office of John Tello handles felony and misdemeanor offenses including crimes of violence (including domestic violence, assault and battery, etc.), drug charges, DUI, sex offenses, juvenile crimes, theft and related offenses, drivers' license offenses, and fraud cases.
In the area of personal injury, we represent individuals who are the victims of motor vehicle accidents, up to and including wrongful death claims. We are committed to guiding our clients through the often complicated insurance claims and lawsuit process. We seek the maximum possible benefits for our clients. To that end, we operate on a contingency fee basis in which we only charge a fee if we are successful in resolving your case resulting in an award for you.
Immediate Investigation and Personal Service
One of the benefits of working with a smaller law firm is that you will not get lost in the maze of secretaries and paralegals that you must go through before you can speak to a lawyer. The Law Office of John Tello offers personalized service and immediate investigation of all claims of our clients and personal access to the attorney who will be handling your claim.
To be sure, much of what occurs in a personal injury claim requires providing documentation of your injuries, including medical records and reports, as well as police reports. The Law Office of John Tello assists our clients in navigating through this maze of procedure so that our clients can be concerned about dealing with the own personal aspects of their case including maintaining their family unit and receiving proper treatment for their injuries. We diligently work to achieve a recovery for your injuries in the form of a monetary award that adequately provides for those injuries, both past, present and future.
As soon as the initial consultation is complete and you retain our law firm, we immediately begin to work on your case - reviewing arrest reports and medical records as well as interviewing witnesses.
After completing this initial process, we will discuss with our clients their immediate needs in terms of providing for their families as well as receiving proper treatment for their injuries. Once treatment is complete and the client has achieved maximum medical benefit of his or her injuries, only then will we begin to negotiate for a fair settlement to compensate you for your injuries. Compensation includes reimbursement of medical expenses, loss of earnings, out-of-pocket expenses as well as compensation for future treatment and loss of earnings.
In the area of criminal law, immediate investigation is crucial since oftentimes evidence and witnesses may be lost with the passage of time. The Law Office of John Tello contracts with private investigators to fully investigate the facts surrounding the charges you are facing and to use that investigation to defend you against those charges. For those clients who may be facing additional consequences from those criminal charges such as employment or immigration consequences, our law office can assist you in resolving those issues, as well. In many cases, this may only require a letter to the appropriate employer or government agency while in others this may require negotiation to a charge that will not carry those additional consequences.
