How Could You Defend A Murderer?!

One of the most common questions you get as a San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney is, how can you defend someone who committed X? It’s a great question. The short answer is in the Sixth Amendment, which says in part, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall . . . have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense.” There are NO exceptions to this rule. And the reality is, you wouldn’t want there to be. The minute we start picking and choosing who gets Constitutional rights and who does not, is when we start to tear away at the very fabric that makes the United States what it is…

Kersey Law was amazing!!!! We called around to a handful of lawyers and they all Give us 2 to 5 minutes to talk And then started talking about the price and rushed us off the phone. Kersey Law Was a completely different experience. They took the time to set up A phone interview and explain the whole process to us . They answered any and all questions we had. And made us feel like we really mattered to them. That’s how we knew they were the right fit for us. They walked us through every step of the way and went above and beyond to help us out . Thank You !!!!

I can’t recommend Jamal Kersey highly enough. I was facing a very stressful battery charge and wasn’t sure where to turn, but from the moment I reached out, Jamal made a huge difference. He took time to really listen to my situation and allowed me to explain in detail, which immediately put me at ease. His knowledge of criminal law is incredibly impressive. He asked all the right questions, clearly explained the potential outcomes and guided me step-by-step throughout the entire process so I always knew what to expect. What stood out most was how calm, professional and reassuring he was during such a difficult time. Thanks to his expertise and guidance, i ultimately found out I would not be charges, which was an enormous relief. I’m extremely grateful to have had Jamal in my corner and would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and dedicated attorney.
