A criminal case is a living, breathing organism. It is constantly changing, and as it ages—certain avenues open up that may not have existed before. The benefit of an experienced and creative defense attorney is that navigating these channels is incredibly complicated and nuanced. Having someone who knows the ropes makes a difference, whether that’s fair or not—and making sure that you are flanked with a good attorney puts you in the best position to succeed.

If you have been accused, charged or suspected of committing a crime, the best things to do are to act quickly, don’t answer any questions from authorities, and get a defense lawyer who will carefully structure the next steps in the process.
