Encourages the court to consider alternatives as opposed to punishment. We represent what we believe will work best for you, and we encourage everyone to root for your success.   We recommend that if you have received a misdemeanor charge and you are required to appear in Municipal, Superior, or District Court, that you secure an attorney to represent you. Options may be available to you that do not currently seem obvious.   We will help you find an attorney.  If you need help finding an attorney, consult your phone directory or contact your nearest STOP office. We work with attorneys daily and may be able to suggest attorneys we have had experience with, who have dealt successfully with charges similar to yours.
