When should I call a criminal attorney? 

If you are looking at this website, you or someone you love has likely been accused of a crime.  This is a very frightening experience.  It is essential that the accused telephone me BEFORE speaking to the police either in person or via telephone.  Often people believe if they cooperate with the police and answer their questions honestly they will be treated less harshly. NOT TRUE!  Most often the very words the accused used to try to help their situation become the Prosecutor’s number one piece of evidence against them at trial; a confession.
