 FAQs

  • Absolutely. Innocence doesn’t guarantee that charges will go away. The justice system doesn’t always get it right, and you need a strong defense to make sure your side of the story is heard.

  • You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Use them! Police officers are trained to get information - even if they seem friendly. Always ask for a lawyer before answering questions.
