Time is of the essence in a criminal case. The quicker you get a trusted criminal defense lawyer advocating for you, the better chances you’ll have of building a solid defense – or even having the charges dropped altogether. 

It’s imperative to speak with an attorney as soon as possible if you’ve been arrested or charged with a crime.
