CALL AN ATTORNEY BEFORE TALKING TO THE POLICE
If you have not yet been charged with a crime and the
police want to talk with you, call us first – NEVER
consent to an interview without an attorney present.
Statements that you may view as innocent can often be
used against you later – ALWAYS call us first.
Here are some of the steps our qualified attorneys can
take:
• Obtain a low or personal bond
• Review the case immediately for defects
• Move to suppress evidence
• Obtain vital information from the prosecution that may
be used against you.
• Prevent important evidence such as 911 tapes, police
dispatch tapes, vehicle information, video tapes, etc.
from being lost or destroyed

You need an attorney who will develop a clear strategy
for your case and won’t push you to make hasty

• Review and examine the police procedures to determine
if your constitutional rights were violated

• Negotiate sentencing deals eliminating the threat of
jail
• Take every opportunity to obtain a dismissal before
trial

cases where additional resources are needed

you deserve a legal team committed to protecting your
rights.
