Re: charges
Thank you for your question. Yes, things can very quickly get out of hand when both drinking and the police are involved. An early legal is essential to keep a serious misunderstand from becoming a life ruining event. However, your boyfriend, the one being charged with the crimes, is the one who needs the lawyer right now.
My immediate advice is to not provide any more information to the police. Contact your boyfriend and tell him that if the police do find him that he should absolutely make no statements to them, verbal or in writing. He should give his name and address, that sort of biographic information, but nothing else. I cannot emphasize this point enough. I have had so many cases where there was almost no evidence except the defendants own admissions. My consultation fee is $200 if you would like to talk further. Contact me directly by e-mail.
