Pre-Charge Representation

If you have been accused of committing a crime, are under investigation by law enforcement, or believe an investigation may begin, your next steps are critical. Even though formal charges have not been filed, anything you do could end up as evidence in a criminal investigation. As such, seeking counsel from an experienced criminal defense attorney is a wise decision.

Hiring an attorney for pre-charge representation is not an admission of guilt. Rather, it is crucial to ensuring your rights are protected during any investigation and if any charges are filed. Your attorney will listen to your side of the story, investigate your case, and develop a powerful strategy specifically tailored to your unique circumstances. If you or someone you love may benefit from pre-trial representation, contact Arnold & Smith, PLLC today to arrange an initial consultation.

As part of pre-charge representation, you can advise any investigator or officer to direct questions to your attorney. Your attorney will skillfully handle a variety of issues, such as:

  • Answering questions and speaking with law enforcement and investigators
