In all cases, while it is often difficult to do, try to remember as much as possible about the arrest as you can. Was a search warrant used and were items taken that were specifically mentioned in the search warrant? Law enforcement must follow specific procedures and protocols when doing their job. If these rules are not followed, they may be violating your rights. Regardless of what law enforcement personnel say, or how much they scare you, you are still a person with rights that should be treated with respect.

Once we are engaged with you in your case we will be your advocate every step along the way, working diligently to bring your case to a quick and positive resolution for you.

If you know you are being investigated but have not been formally charged, you should contact is immediately. The sooner you have legal representation, the better prepared you will be in the event that charges are filed.

You Are Under Investigation - What Should You Do?

Are you under investigation for a crime, but no charges have been filed against you? Have you been contacted by the police or other law enforcement agency? Have people from your work, your family, or other individuals, been asked questions? Has a search warrant been served? If so, don’t wait for formal charges to be filed – act now!  We can help you fight your case before it even becomes one.

Many people aren’t aware that in many cases we can start fighting your case before charges are filed. These efforts can act as a pre-emptive strike and in some cases can actually keep the charges from ever being filed or going to court. But the sooner you get us involved in the process the better.

If we are involved before charges are filed we can:

• Research, investigate and advise you regarding the investigation.
• Contact law enforcement early and intervene.
  
• Avoid interviews, polygraphs, line-ups, fingerprint/handwriting analysis, or other investigative tools seeking evidence against you.
  
• Put legal pressure on law enforcement to avoid further investigation.
  
• Divert allegations and informally resolve the case by alternative means.
  
• Attempt to keep criminal charges from being filed.
  
• If inevitable, assist you with surrendering to avoid arrest.
  
• And if arrested, assist you with arranging for bail.

You Have Been Arrested - What Should You Do?

If you are arrested, the actions you take could have a significant impact on your situation – usually for the worse. Do not make any statements to law enforcement regarding the reason for your arrest. Law enforcement and investigators are not your friends and they can’t do anything to improve your situation. Their job is to get you to admit something, in some cases even if it is not true. Their job is to try to make their case as strong as possible.

While it may be tempting, it is important to not discuss your situation with anyone except your attorney. This includes family members, friends or anyone else, especially if you are incarcerated. Remember that all phone calls are recorded.
