Mr. Silek's criminal defense philosophy can be illustrated by a quote from John Adams, our second President and founding father.
"The part I took in defense of [the British soldiers in the Boston Massacre], ...was...one of the most gallant, generous, manly and disinterested actions of my whole life, and one of the best pieces of service I ever rendered my Country... As the Evidence was, the verdict of the jury [of not guilty] was exactly right."
Did you know the John Adams defended the soldiers who allegedly murdered five innocent Americans? And did you know that a jury acquitted each and every soldier? If you said no, this is because you've only heard on side of the story.
Mr. Silek believes that no matter what the accuser, police, or prosecutor alleges there is always another side of the story.
His goal is to vigorously advocate for clients regardless of whether they are charged with petty or serious crimes.
If conviction appears unavoidable, we are honest with our clients and strive to work with the Judge or prosecutor to impose the least restrictive sentence possible.
