The Criminal Defense

What to do if you are charged with False Allegation of a Crime

It can be difficult to be arrested for a crime that you did not perform and you don't have any association with it.  The situation can be more difficult when you don't have any guarantee that the charges will be dismissed or that you will not be found guilty down the road. Sadly, being falsely accused does happen. If you find yourself being falsely charged with a crime, you need to take immediate action by hiring a criminal Defense attorney who can guide you about the situation.

​

False allegations are overpowering but you need to handle the situation bravely. First, sit and breathe strongly. If you want to argue against the false accusations, then you must listen. It is very important to understand the whole situation clearly and you don’t need to complicate the situation with emotional disturbances.

​

Anger and dramatics only stretch you emotionally and drain your energy. With the support of a criminal defense attorney, you would be able to organize your thinking and handle the situation without any mistakes, miscommunications, or misunderstandings. So, the best task is to plan a response by organizing things in the right way and manage by producing notes, records, receipts, journal entries, phone reports, bank accounts, and so on.

If you have the evidence, you can make an alternative defense against the allegations. In some cases, this means requesting witnesses to the event or your version of the issue. Try to keep things privately and don’t share it with everyone. You should answer every question with the advice of your attorney and don’t respond to any deal that lacks your lawyer's input.
