Criminal defense
Charges against you or against your child, including juvenile cases.
What happened
Someone has been charged, and the next date on the calendar is not optional. That is a hard thing to sit with, especially if this is the first time.
Being charged is not the same as being guilty, and the person facing it has rights that apply from the very beginning.
What usually happens next
This is general information, not advice about your case. An attorney can tell you what applies to you.
- Write down every date you have been given and bring the paperwork with you.
- Say as little as possible about the facts to anyone other than an attorney.
- If the person charged is a minor, juvenile court works differently. Tell us so we match accordingly.
- A defense attorney can explain what the charge actually means and what the process looks like from here.
