Understanding Your Rights and Options
When you are facing criminal charges, knowing what to do next can make all the difference. Here are a few critical questions we hear from clients.
What are my rights when facing criminal accusations?
You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. You should never feel pressured to provide a statement to the police without your legal counsel present.
How can I prepare for my case?
Document everything you remember about the incident, including times, locations and witnesses. Avoid discussing your case on social media or with anyone except your lawyer. Contact us immediately – early intervention often produces better outcomes.
How can a criminal law attorney help?
We review the evidence, identify violations of your rights, negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges and fight for you in court when necessary. We help you understand possible outcomes and make informed decisions about plea offers versus trial.
