Minnesota Criminal Investigation and Pre-Charge Lawyer
Criminal Defense Attorney | Minneapolis, Minnesota
Criminal defense representation during investigation and pre-charge or pre-indictment
The most critical time to have an attorney is during the investigation/pre-charging period of our case. If you, or someone you care about, is under investigation or has been contacted by the police, now is the time to hire an attorney. During this critical time period you need an experienced criminal defense attorney.
Once you become a suspect or “target” of an investigation, the police stop investigating the crime and begin investigating you. If you do not have a lawyer, the police can call you, come to your home, and come to your place of work to question you at any time. You need a lawyer to put a stop to this. Here are some of the things I do for my clients during the investigation process:
- Protect your rights
- Investigate leads the officers have ignored
- Facilitate a polygraph to prove your innocence
- Investigate your accuser
- Contact prosecutors to mitigate your charges
- Quash a warrant for arrest
- Offer cooperation in exchange for dismissal of charges
I have helped countless clients under investigation for crimes including, drug dealing, fraud and sex crimes. These clients have avoided charges or they have mitigated their case. The time to do this is before the case reaches the County Attorney’s Office.
If you, or someone you know, is contacted by the police, the first thing you should do is tell them to talk to an attorney. The second thing you do is call me.
