I’ve been arrested for a criminal offense. What do I do now? Immediately contact an attorney with whom you feel comfortable and keep detailed notes of everything you can remember leading up to your arrest. DO NOT SPEAK WITH ANYONE about anything pertaining to your arrest or the crime you’ve been accused of except your attorney.

What can I do before my case goes to trial to help my situation? There are many pre-trial options that can be used to mitigate the consequences of the crime you’ve been accused of committing and in some cases avoid a conviction altogether.

How will hiring an attorney increase the likelihood of a favorable outcome? The Constitution gives you the right to an attorney and you’ll need an attorney to help you navigate the Criminal Justice System. An attorney is the only person you have looking out for your interests in criminal proceedings.
