Do I need a lawyer?

Unfortunately, it’s far too often that mere accusations—with little or no proof—result in criminal charges. Williams & Williams criminal defense attorneys will ensure that you’re treated fairly and your rights are represented.

What should I do right now?

Everyone accused of a crime has the right to protect themselves by not making any statements, objecting to unlawful seizures, and knowing what evidence there is against them.

If you’ve been charged with a crime, or believe you may be charged, remember the following:

Remain silent

Anything you say might be used against you later in court. A good rule of thumb is to remain silent to avoid giving away any information that may implicate you in some way.

Object to unlawful seizures

Law enforcement can’t search your home, person, or vehicle without a search warrant or probably cause. If police carry out an illegal search, whatever is found can’t be used as evidence.

Know what evidence is against you

You have a constitutional right to see the evidence against you as part of what’s known as due process. The prosecution in your case is obligated to present all witnesses and evidence against you as early as your first court date.

Contact Williams & Williams criminal defense lawyers immediately.

Without legal representation, it can be difficult to know whether you’re being treated fairly and lawfully. If you’ve been charged, or believe you might be charged, seek legal representation immediately.
