What the firm reviews early.
Documents and deadlines
Charging papers, notices to appear, bond paperwork, court dates, license issues, probation documents, and any agency contact should be preserved and reviewed.
Evidence and constitutional issues
Reports, body-camera video, dash-camera video, witness allegations, searches, seizures, statements, and probable-cause issues can shape defense strategy.
Practical consequences
Employment, licensing, family, housing, immigration concerns, reputation, and driving privileges may all matter alongside the criminal court posture.
Start with the posture — then build the defense.
The first conversation should identify the charge or investigation, court location, deadlines, custody or warrant concerns, and what evidence needs to be protected. The next step may involve consultation, document review, case opening, or a controlled communication plan.
