TRIAL ATTORNEY
Criminal Trial Attorney
You aren’t born a trial attorney; you become one. Case by case. Trial by trial.
Experience does matter and George Hess has over 30 years of it. He has the in-depth knowledge of both the law and human nature that successful Criminal Defense
requires. And the power of that knowledge is at the ready for each of our clients. Criminal Defense runs the gamut from a dismissal of charges to a full blown jury trial. You need an attorney on your side who is experienced in that entire range. One who knows the ins and outs of the system. The ramifications of certain outcomes. What options are available. One who knows, for example, when a felony charge can be negotiated down to a misdemeanor.
Trial Lawyer Experience You Can Rely On
George knows the full spectrum of Criminal Defense. It’s his arena. He’s relentless in questioning everything and doesn’t automatically accept what may look black and white. Is there another way to interpret the evidence? George finds it and makes a compelling argument for it. Should the plea offer be accepted? He pushes back with creative counteroffers. What are the client’s needs and goals in a resolution? George listens and will add concerns the client may not have thought of.
In the fast paced realm of a trial, you need an experienced trial attorney who can think on the fly as events unfold. Who can connect with the jury. Who knows what to react to and what to ignore. When to push a point a little harder and when to simply sit down and shut up.
With many years of trials, including highly complicated murder trials, George Hess has the confidence and experience to enter a court room and do battle.
Dedicated to his craft, George is a member of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), as well as the Maine Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (MACDL), and is a former board member. He serves on the Maine Supreme Judicial Court Advisory Committee on the Rules of Criminal Procedure.
