YOU WERE CHARGED.
YOU HAVE NOT
BEEN CONVICTED

Find a criminal lawyer who handles
charges like yours in your city.

You May Have More Options Than You Think.

Before you plead guilty, have a criminal lawyer review the evidence against you.

A criminal lawyer starts by reviewing the evidence against you.


Is it reliable? Was it obtained lawfully? Can it be challenged? Can the prosecution prove every part of the charge?


Not every charge can be dismissed. Not every case should go to trial. A lawyer will consider any defenses that may apply and whether the evidence can be challenged. From there, the lawyer may challenge the charge, negotiate a resolution, prepare for trial, or take more than one of those steps.


A guilty plea can result in a criminal record and consequences you may not expect. Taking it back later can be difficult.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Get clear answers before making a decision

Do I need a criminal lawyer right now?
If you've been charged or are being investigated, what you do next matters. What you say, what you agree to, and the decisions you make early on can affect how your case is handled. A criminal lawyer helps you understand your options before you make a decision you can't take back.
Should I plead guilty and get it over with?
It might feel like the quickest way to move on. But a guilty plea usually leads to a conviction, and that can affect your record, your job, and your future. Most people who plead guilty early did not realize they had another option. A criminal lawyer can review the evidence and tell you whether you do.
Should I talk to the police without a lawyer?
Anything you say can be used as evidence, even if you are trying to explain yourself. Once you say something, you cannot take it back. Speaking to a criminal lawyer first helps you understand your rights and how to respond without making your situation harder.

Can a criminal lawyer actually help my case?

How do I choose the right criminal lawyer?
Look for a lawyer who focuses on criminal law and regularly handles cases like yours in the courts where your case will be heard. Then speak with them directly. One conversation will tell you more than any website. You will know quickly whether they understand your situation and whether you trust them with it.
