Should you or a loved one be arrested and charged with a crime, it’s essential that you consult an attorney right away. Even if your charges seem minor, or if this is your first offense, what happens during this process will affect your future. Don’t leave things to chance.

Many individuals think that they do not have to do anything since formal charges have not been filed. Others think that they have nothing to fear because they have not done anything wrong. Still others fall for the comment from the officer or investigator that "we just want to hear your side of the story" or that "getting a lawyer is an admission of guilt." It is important that your rights be protected in any type of investigation, regardless of whether charges or a police report have been officially filed.

- - Finding new evidence, including (if possible) witness testimony to verify your claims
- - Appearing at all legal proceedings, including bail hearings, trial proceedings and probation violation hearings
