Criminal Defense Attorney Tips and Advice

Police target tips: don't get arrested "by accident"

- Take detailed notes of your incarcerations. Include taped discussions with witnesses or other parties involved.

- Meet and/or review every client or file personally. A disgruntled client today could end up being a snitch tomorrow.

- Carefully review all police and accident reports, looking out for any suspicious inconsistencies.

- If you are suspicious, investigate before accepting the case.

- Trust your instincts

- If you have information that proves the case is fraudulent, first confer with your own trained counsel.

- Don’t sign your name to any document without careful review.

- Watch out for “rental car” accident cases.

- If you are contacted by law enforcement, immediately contact legal counsel experienced in these matters.
