What to do if Charged?
1. Do not contact the accuser
You may be tempted to contact the accuser to try and resolve the issue directly. Do not contact the accuser. All correspondence before and after the incident can and will be used against you. A lawyer should be representing you in all stages to ensure that nothing hurts the defense case.
2. Do not destroy evidence
You may think that destroying any evidence in your possession will help your defense case. However tampering with evidence will almost always backfire against the defendant.

Awesome lawyers!!!
“David Jones and Dan Katz are awesome lawyers!!! We have our lives back because of them. Dan believed, cared, prepared, took all the time needed to help my husband with his case. My husband was charged with a crime that he didnt commit, we were scared, depressed, and thought our lives were over. Dan was by our side thru this whole nightmare he was available day and night on his personal cellphone anytime/anyday. I talked to many lawyers on the phone before contacting David and all of them wanted money before hearing the whole story, but David took the time to listen to both of us and tell our side of the story he believed in us and gave us a chance. This nightmare lasted about 2 years we went to trial and on the second day thanks to Dan the case was dismissed!!. Like I said we have our lives back we can think about our future together with our young daughter. There is no other lawyer I would recommend Thank you David and Dan!!” – Veronica
