What to Do if You've Been Charged
No matter what your charge is (we have extensive experience with expungement, DUI, drug crimes, and domestic violence), it is important to follow these rules so you don't end up with heftier fines or longer sentences in prison:
Remain Silent: the police, detective, and authorities may try to convince you to speak by "trying to get your side of the story." Whether this is actually true or not, anything you say can cause you to be convicted or make your penalties harsher than they were ever going to be otherwise.
Stay Calm: Especially if you've been wrongfully accused of a crime, your emotions may get the best of you and you may say something that will only make matters worse. Remember that as long as we are by your side, you are in good hands, your voice will be heard, and we will fight for your rights as a citizen and as a human being.
Contact an Attorney Immediately: As mentioned above, an attorney will be your voice when working with the judge to get you the least harsh penalty possible.
Whether you’re dealing with a minor traffic infraction or significant felony charges, let the Law Office Of Patrick J. Weiss work to protect your rights.
