If you have been charged with a crime, you are undoubtedly nervous and confused over the situation you are now forced to deal with. It is likely your reputation, both personally, and professionally is in jeopardy. One of the most important things to know about any investigation is that police are professional investigators knowledgeable in the law. Investigating officers will almost always will seek a conversation with individuals suspected of criminal activity. While it may appear the officers are attempting to obtain information that will show your innocence and/or lack of involvement in any suspected crime, this is often not the case. Police often go into these suspect interviews with the mind set that the individual they are speaking with is guilty. (This assumption is often based on the reason they are speaking with the suspected individual in the first place, such as a personal complaint, or video or other observational evidence.) This mind-set, coupled with the officer’s knowledge of the laws and what statements they would need to prove their case, puts a person suspected of a crime who allows himself or herself to be questioned by the police at a severe disadvantage. As such, the best advice for a person suspected or charged with a crime is to use their right to remain silent until an attorney can advise them on their pact specific situation. Call Charles McNeese or Adam Trotsky for a free consultation regarding your specific legal situation.

If charged, you will quickly discover the vast resources the prosecuting attorney has at their disposal, which they will use in their attempt to convict you. The resources, along with the fact most prosecutors in the Washington area are talented attorneys, means once you have been charged with a crime; you are in for a battle. Just the fact that you have been charged with a crime means a police agency has completed a report and filed it with the prosecuting attorneys office, likely recommending charges be filed against you. Then, the report is reviewed by the filing deputy of the prosecutor’s office. If the prosecutor believes there is probable cause to proceed with charges, they file the case in the appropriate Court and your battle begins.
