If you are being charged with a criminal offense, you need to seek immediate assistance from a criminal defense attorney. Whether you are facing petty theft charges, weapons charges, or drug charges, you should avoid answering any questions posed by law enforcement before speaking with an attorney. It is important to remember, while a law enforcement officer can arrest you, the charges are lodged by a District Attorney after reviewing the facts. The sooner your attorney gets involved, the more likely we are to have the charges reduced or dropped.

It is understandable to be frightened and concerned if you are arrested. Rather than letting these feelings stop you in your tracks, contact an attorney immediately. This is a necessity, so you can fight the charges you are facing. Remember, every charge should be taken seriously since a guilty finding will result in a criminal record for you. The more serious the charge, the more important it is to work with an attorney immediately to work on a defense.

Just because you have been arrested does not mean you forfeit your rights. However, outside of a Miranda warning, law enforcement officers may not advise you of your options. Therefore, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible after your arrest. Only an attorney can explain your options and tell you what punishment you may face if you are found guilty.
