Bradenton Pre-Charge Investigation Lawyers

Do you have reason to believe that you are under investigation by law enforcement? Perhaps you have already been contacted for questioning. You may have already been arrested but then let go without any formal charges filed against you. In all of these scenarios, you are in the pre-charge investigation stage of a criminal case. The time to act is immediately, since you may be in jeopardy of actual charges followed by an induction into the criminal justice system. 

The pre-charge investigation stage is a critical phase and one that calls for the services of a criminal defense lawyer. At Fowler Law Group, we are here to protect your rights and best interests from the earliest moments of a potential criminal case. Our intervention at this stage may enable us, through effective communication with law enforcement or prosecutors, to have the potential case against you dropped. Other options include a pre-charge favorable resolution, such as reduced charges and reduced sentencing instead of harsher measures.

What Happens in the Pre-Charge Investigation Stage?

In the pre-charge investigation stage, law enforcement’s job is to gather information and evidence that can lead to charges. In their effort to do so, they are not looking out for your best interests or the protection of your constitutional rights. They are trained in tactics designed to make you feel comfortable and at ease to get what they want. These officials may say and do all manner of things to get evidence from you that is damaging or can be used against you in a court of law.

They may tell you that you don’t need a lawyer, that you aren’t a suspect, or that they can make things easier for you if you cooperate with them. When believing them, the fact remains that anything you say can be used against you. Even minor discrepancies or inconsistencies that you are unaware of could lead to further intensified investigation and an arrest that will go on your criminal record. 

By bringing in one of our skilled attorneys, your rights will be protected, and you will be prevented from making any harmful mistakes, however inadvertent. Our team can ensure that any statements you make are not twisted or misconstrued. 

It is important to know that law enforcement officers do not want you to be represented by an attorney when you are subject to an investigation. That is because they know that your attorney will be monitoring what goes on throughout questioning or any other aspect of the investigation. Such protection can make the difference between being charged or not. At Fowler Law Group, we know that proactive intervention right from the start is vital. It can mean the difference between innocent people going to jail or remaining free from wrongful convictions.
