1 If You have Been Arrested Don t Do Anything Until You Read My Special Report! If you have been arrested by the police for a criminal offense, you re probably confused or worried about what steps to take next, and have a lot of questions on your mind like: Will I go to jail for a long time? Will I have to perform community service? What happens if I don t show up in court? What if I can t afford a lawyer and have to take a public defender? If I m found guilty will I have a permanent record and have difficulty in getting a job? Do I really need a lawyer or can I just show up in court on my own? How will I know that the lawyer I ve chosen to defend me is the right lawyer for my case? If you have any of these concerns, then please keep reading this Special Report. Hello, my name is Lee Martin and I have been helping clients who have been accused of a crime as a lawyer in Nashville for more than 13 years. I ve focused my practice on the challenges faced by clients who end up with criminal charges that could cost them thousands of dollars in fines or possibly land them in jail for years. It s unfortunate, but many innocent people end up with criminal convictions on their permanent records. Did you know that not everyone who is accused of a crime is guilty? Unfortunately, I see too many people misinformed about the court system. They end up going to jail or serving a longer sentence than necessary. All they really needed where the facts to avoid these harsh consequences. Knowledge is power and having the right kind of information is your best defense! As local law enforcement gets even more zealous to crack down on crime many people get caught up in this sweep to clean the streets. They end up being convicted of a crime, paying court costs, and fines for something they never did in the first place. Or even worse, they end up going to jail. If they only would have known what to do, they could have avoided these consequences. The truth of the matter, there are 3 important myths about defending a criminal case that everyone should know but don t. You better get the right information before you do anything. What to do If You ve been arrested.. Let me share some of my client testimonials with you so that I can show you how I helped people get their lives back after being charged with a crime.

2 I was facing a very serious felony vehicular assault case for an alcohol related car accident along with a DUI, Mr. Martin formulated a defense and negotiated a plea to a non-alcohol related offense. L.S. You saved my ass is what you did. S.J. Not guilty is what the jury said. M.R. Being charged with a 3 rd offense DUI and driving on a revoked license, Lee tried my case in front of a jury, fought for me, and produced a very favorable outcome. If it weren t for his efforts, I would have lost my business. T.R. You helped me put this mistake behind me and now my record is clear. It s like the whole thing never happened. S.W. Being a fellow attorney, I choose Lee to represent me on my DUI charge. Needless to say, I am very pleased with the results he achieved. D.D. My felony drug offenses were all reduced to a misdemeanor charges. M.H. I was charged with a very serious domestic violence charge. Lee believed I was innocent and fought for me. After a two day trial, a not guilty verdict was returned and my good name was restored. R.P. I talked to a lot of other lawyers. Lee is the only lawyer who listened to my case, formulated a defense, and went on the attack. A.M. My felony drug charge was dismissed. D.W. NO MIRACLES.JUST HARD WORK! Now, I did not work any special miracles on these cases. I just did my job as a lawyer. I did the hard work I was supposed to do. I investigated their cases, hired necessary

3 experts, and interviewed key people. I knew the law, followed the proper procedures and held my ground for my clients. Through my special training and background in criminal defense, I was able to analyze their situations, recommend the best course of action and obtain a just and fair outcome. The tragedy of all of this is that there are many people out who never got a chance to fully understand their legal rights. Every year, thousands of people, get unfairly charged for a crime without fully understanding the legal process. That s why I ve dedicated myself to fully informing and educating my clients as to what steps are necessary to protect their legal rights. There s a lot more on the line when it comes to a criminal charge than you think!!! HERE ARE THE 3 COMMON MYTHS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING! Myth # 1: Most people accused of a crime are guilty! This myth is probably one of the most troubling ones of all harbored by the public and lawyers alike. In my opinion, lawyers who believe this should never represent a client who s been accused of a crime. This causes them to loose the objectivity that is crucial to their client s case. I ve had a criminal lawyer with over 25 years of experience tell me that they are all guilty!! How absurd! Myth #2: It s impossible to win a criminal case! Not only does the general public believes this to be true, but so do some prosecutors and defense lawyers. This myth is the biggest misconception of all. The good news is that experienced defense attorneys win most of the time when they have all the evidence lined up and presented in a logical manner to the jury. Every spec of evidence must be presented in a logical sequential manor to ensure that the jury understands that the accused in NOT guilty. Now when I say, win a case I mean having the charges reduced to a lesser charge, different offense, or not guilty verdict. Myth #3: Anyone can defend an accused in a criminal charge. If a close friend of mine needed a lawyer for a specialized field of law like IRS litigation, I would tell him to seek advice and consult with a lawyer who specialized in tax law. So, the most important thing to remember when choosing a lawyer is to choose a lawyer who will aggressively defend your interests. By not investigating all your options fully you could leave yourself at the mercy of the system. Just to drive this point home, look back at the O.J. trial of the century. It is clear that the only reason why O.J. won this case is because he hired the best experts and lawyers money could buy.

4 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? The most important secret you need to know in order to avoid high court costs, fines, a criminal record, and jail is to hire the most competent, aggressive, strong willed, and savvy attorney you can find! HERE S WHAT I CAN OFFER YOU If this Special Report makes sense to you in any way, then you probably have a few questions that need to be answered. So, I m offering a FREE, half-hour consultation and audit to review your case. Please call me while this report is still fresh in you mind. I will set aside valuable time to meet with you at no cost or obligation! This consultation will allow you to protect your rights and restore your peace of mind. HERE S HOW IT WORKS: First, I ll review the facts of your case with you, ask you questions and review your options with you. Then, when I have a clear understanding of what has happened, I ll give you my opinion about your case, including you chances of winning and any problems I may see. Since every case is different, I ll tell you what I think is the best option for you under your specific circumstances. I will also explain you legal rights and your obligations. I ll tell you what papers need to be filed and what reports need to be made. I ll also explain the entire legal process to you, so you ll know exactly what happens from start to finish. The most important thing is that the lawyer you chose doesn t miss any critical details regarding your criminal charge. Missing critical evidence could end up costing you thousands of dollars and land you in jail. What s my guarantee to you? My guarantee to you is that I will invest my time, resources, and abilities into your case. I will leave no stone unturned. THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS WHAT TOO MANY PEOPLE DO-DELAY OR DO NOTHING

5 Too many people have told me they wished they had acted sooner before important evidence was lost or they simply entered a guilty plea without the benefit of legal advice. I get numerous calls each year from people wanting to get their prior criminal convictions expunged and they are shocked to learn that they are stuck with their conviction on their record for life. Please don t let this happen to you. I understand that you have a lot of questions and concerns on you mind. A criminal conviction placed on your permanent record will ultimately affect your life in a negative way. However, not doing anything at all won t change your situation. TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY NO RISK, NO HASSLE OFFER, JUST CALL (615) FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT Again, I will be more than happy to answer your questions, give you the benefit of an objective legal analysis and then, it s up to you to decide what you want to do. Even after that, you are under no obligation to use me as your attorney. I hope I have made this as easy as possible for you. Thanks again for reading this Special Report; I look forward to hearing from you.
