Retain a lawyer early if possible

​

Retaining the best legal representation early, even before an arrest, if possible, can help will help with all of the following:

​

• The immediate cessation any statements that could be used against you by police and prosecutors

​

• Preserve favorable evidence and defense friendly witness statements while evidence is fresh

​

• Prepare for out-of-custody status at the earliest opportunity

​

• Avoid costly mistakes that are commonly made by persons who delay in creating an early defense or wait around for busy and over worked public defenders to get up to speed on a criminal case while the defendant lingers in jail

​

• Possibly explain your side of the situation or otherwise resolve your case early so that district attorney does not even file criminal charges (Pretrial litigation)
