Early Intervention In A Criminal Case

Whether you have already received misdemeanor charges or felony charges for alleged criminal offenses or you suspect you may receive charges soon, it is always best to reach out to an attorney as soon as you suspect you are in legal trouble. Even before you receive charges or an arrest warrant, we can help you protect your best interests against criminal conviction. For example, we can assist you through any investigation or questioning, help you avoid mistakes that can jeopardize your case and possibly avoid charges altogether. Our experienced team can also act on your behalf to secure a preliminary hearing in front of a magisterial district judge (MDJ) or at a formal arrangement.
