If you’ve been accused of a crime, your life will probably feel like it has changed forever. As a person who has been accused, you likely do not know what you can do next or understand your legal rights. Due to this, you need to act quickly and contact a criminal law attorney to ensure your future is protected.
In the state of Florida, you should hire a lawyer before charges are officially filed. Prior to your charges being filed, our team at Harris Guidi Rosner, P.A. will begin gathering evidence in your defense and contact the assigned prosecutor. Our conversations can help guide the prosecutor into the right decision, quicker. It can also result in lesser charges being filed or even no charges filed at all.
While working with a lawyer, your attorney will take proactive measures that could lead to your charges being dismissed. A lawyer can speak on your behalf and convince the proper parties that they have the wrong person. Depending on the situation, your attorney may decide no action is the best course of action. A witness could recant testimony or test results could show your innocence before any charges are filed against you.
When you work with a criminal law attorney, it is vital that you gather any physical evidence to support your defense such as receipts, GPS data, clothing, photos, etc. In addition, we recommend you put together a list of witnesses who can provide information about your whereabouts during the crime.
If charges are formally filed against you, your attorney will thoroughly investigate the crime and the prosecutor’s evidence, interview witnesses, talk to expert witnesses, and more.
If you have been falsely accused of a crime, always speak to your attorney about any possible evidence against you, never talk to the police without consulting with your attorney, or consent to a DNA test or other test without speaking to your attorney.
