There is a window of opportunity between an arrest and the filing of formal charges to avoid criminal prosecution as the State does not initiate formal prosecution against all persons arrested for a criminal offense. The State selects which cases to prosecute. The time period before your first court date is called intake or the intake process.
Once retained, I will start to work on your criminal case immediately, before the State Attorney files formal charges. This pre-filing representation gives my clients the opportunity to influence the State Attorney’s filing decision and, in some cases, avoid being formally charged with the crime for which they were arrested. I take an aggressive approach and explore all your options for a successful solution to your case, with an emphasis on alternatives to a life-long criminal record. Hiring an aggressive criminal defense lawyer quickly after an arrest remains the most effective way to defend yourself against an unjust prosecution.
