  • What You Need To Know Now

    An arrest is not a conviction. You may have only a limited time to contact certain courts or other agencies to ensure some of your rights are protected while you await your first court date. Your lawyer will request any reports and in-car video that will assist in your defense. Also, it’s important to contact a trusted attorney to understand the real-world outcomes you face and the very real opportunities you have to defend your case and safeguard your freedom. Life is not over! Contacting an experienced attorney will give you the peace of mind you need to go forward and successfully navigate your case.
