Pre-Charge Consultation
If you, a loved one, or your business has been involved in illegal activity or has been identified by the police as a suspect in a crime, you should not wait until you are arrested to speak to an attorney. You may believe that you are a suspect. Prior to speaking to the police, prosecuting or administrative agency you should speak to legal counsel about your situation first. The authorities are not required to tell you information they have, and what you say to them may actually be the very evidence they need to prosecute you.
You may have received notice from the prosecution that you are a "target," or you may have received a subpoena to testify before a grand jury or to present business or personal documents.
Call our office today for a free consultation so that we can learn more about your situation and you can learn more about your rights.

Guilt by association
Frequently because of who you were with or where you were located, you may become the subject of criminal investigations. Even if you did nothing wrong, it may be important to speak to an attorney to determine whether you may be at risk of being charged. Answers to questions you may provide to the police about one of your friend’s or associate’s activities could result in you being charged with an offense.
Frequently the best defense is avoiding charges in the first place. Call us today to see how we can help.
