The Importance of Taking Action Quickly

Unfortunately, one of the worst things you can do is choose to put off consulting with a lawyer. Even when a case is in the investigatory phase, your attorney may be able to limit the investigation against you to help you avoid having charges filed in the first place. This can also act as valuable preparation in building a more effective criminal defense strategy. An experienced, aggressive and knowledgeable criminal defense attorney could be able to make the difference in your criminal case. Your attorney will work to investigate every aspect of your case in order to help you and give you the greatest chance at success in your case.

A Rochester criminal defense lawyer who is experienced, qualified and knowledgeable could be able to help your case come to a desirable resolution. You need a legal professional to assert your constitutional rights and work the legal system in your favor from the onset of your case. Even if you have not yet been formally charged with a crime, an attorney is still valuable. Taking action early, conducting an investigation into the case and negotiating with the prosecution will go a long way in ensuring you do not face criminal charges at all, or that you face lessened charges.

Involve a Rochester criminal defense lawyer by calling (248) 656-0086!

If you are facing criminal charges of any kind or are under investigation for a criminal offense, you truly have no time to waste. Right now, law enforcement is working hard to recover evidence against you. They may have secured a warrant to search your personal property, your computer, your phone records or other sensitive information. They may even be interviewing co-workers, friends or family members to get more information to use against you in a case proceeding.

As soon as you become aware that you are the subject of a criminal investigation, consulting an attorney is in your best interests. Through the extent of the entire criminal process, your lawyer can work to ensure your constitutional rights are not violated in any way. He or she can take action to confirm that law enforcement follows procedure to the letter, and this actually may limit their ability to investigate you in some situations. We are aware of the negative impact a conviction could have on your life and we will work to help you avoid unnecessary consequences in your case.
