Practice Areas - Criminal Law and DUI Issues

Why is it important to contact a Lawyer right away if I am accused of a crime?
In most cases, even though the police have arrested you, the State Attorney's Office must decide at an "invest" if they are actually going to charge you with a crime. Even if you were not arrested, the police often forward cases to the State for a similar investigation. During these early crucial stages it is important to have your attorney contact any witnesses you may have and provide the State with your side of the story. Without this interaction, the prosecutor will only see the incident through the eyes of the police.
