Experienced Phoenix, Arizona, Criminal Law Attorney
It's a frightening time. You come home and find a police detective's business card attached to your door. Your phone has a message asking you to call a detective at the police station. A detective talks to you at work. You know that you are being investigated for something, but you don't know how to protect your rights. You are worried about your family, your job and your future. It may feel as if you don't have anywhere to turn for sound legal advice and help. When the police officer says you have the right to an attorney, what do you do next? Television often makes it look so simple. A lawyer suddenly shows up at the police station and sits by your side, right? The reality, though, is that there are several legal decisions you will need to make immediately before and after your arrest, often well before you are even charged with a crime. An experienced criminal defense lawyer will act as a shield to help protect your rights throughout the investigation process.
