The Critical Importance of Pre-Arrest Legal Representation

Many people make the costly mistake of waiting until after their arrest to hire a criminal defense lawyer. By then, crucial opportunities to prevent charges or minimize exposure may be lost forever. Here’s why immediate legal representation is essential:

Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until You’re Arrested

  • Anything you say can be used against you.
  • Police may mislead or pressure you into incriminating yourself.
  • Delaying legal help can eliminate opportunities to avoid charges.
  • Proactive counsel may persuade prosecutors to drop or divert a case.

  • You’re served with a subpoena
  • You’ve received a target letter or pre-file notice
  • A detective contacts you
  • A search warrant is executed
