Have you been charged or merely accused at this point? First, do not speak about the matter to anyone, especially the police without first consulting with a lawyer. Do not agree to speak to the police or take a lie detector test without first speaking with a lawyer. Do not post anything about it on social media.

I'd suggest retaining an experienced criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible. It's possible to nip these matters in the bud before it goes anywhere and that's exactly what you want to do. Feel free to contact my office for a consultation. If it's an area where it's impractical for us to take the case we may be able to offer a referral.
