You will know where you stand
before you hang up
- 01
You tell us what happened
In your own words, at your own pace. We will ask questions, and some of them will be uncomfortable. Nothing you say surprises us.
- 02
We tell you what you are facing
What the charge actually means, how it is usually handled, and what is realistic. Including the parts you would rather not hear.
- 03
You leave with a plan
What we intend to do, what we need from you, and what happens on what date. You should never be surprised by a result.
- 04
We start before the prosecutor does
We make the first move, so the prosecutor reviewing your file sees a person with a story rather than a name on a warrant.
If you have been charged,
the clock is already running.
A charge doesn't have to define your future
What comes next depends on how you move forward from it. Tell us what happened, and we will tell you what you are facing. Our consultations are free, and with an attorney.
