My name is Jesse K. Sanchez. I am a trial lawyer, an advisor, and a protector for my clients. I am also a husband and a father.
I have been practicing law since May of 2007, in both criminal defense and civil litigation. In the criminal realm, I have represented clients at all phases of the criminal complaint process. I have succeeded in resolving hundreds of criminal cases before trial courts in Indiana.
The heart of excellent representation is empowerment. A good lawyer empowers his clients to make intelligent decisions by communicating and explaining the significance of law and evidence. After communicating the relevant information to his client, the good lawyer will then advise his client on an ideal course of action. A bad lawyer might leave his client in the dark or just tell his client what to do. My philosophy in representation is to empower my clients by taking the time to listen and understand what they really need.
New attorneys sometimes fail to realize that their clients are often the best resource for information and perspective.
I've known a lot of great attorneys. The best are those who take it to heart, who care about the outcome because they care about the people involved. That's not something you learn in law school. No one can teach you this. You either care about your client's situation or you don't. My clients are important to me because I choose to practice law in a way that makes them important to me. I choose to be the kind of attorney that I would want to have if I were in trouble. I'll let my solemn oath and the Golden Rule be my guide in this area.
