Being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. Your freedom, your reputation, your career, and your future are all on the line. The criminal justice system is complex, and the consequences of a conviction can follow you for the rest of your life.

The Stakes Are Too High to Go It Alone
Many people underestimate the consequences of a criminal conviction. Some assume that a charge they view as minor does not warrant serious legal representation. This can be a costly mistake.
The criminal justice process moves quickly, and the decisions made in the early stages of a case can have a profound impact on the outcome. Having an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side from the beginning gives you the best possible chance of a favorable result.

What to Do If You Are Arrested or Charged
If you are arrested or learn that you are under investigation, what you do in the moments and days that follow can significantly affect the outcome of your case. Here is what you should and should not do:
- Exercise your right to remain silent. Do not answer questions from law enforcement without your attorney present. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
- Do not consent to searches of your person, vehicle, or property without consulting your attorney first.
- Contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.
- Do not discuss your case with friends, family, or on social media. These communications may not be protected and could be used against you.
- Write down everything you remember about the circumstances of your arrest or the events in question while they are fresh in your mind, and share that information with your attorney.
The sooner you have an experienced criminal defense attorney in your corner, the better positioned you will be.
