Should I consult a lawyer before I am accused?

Yes, if possible. Unless you were arrested on an outstanding warrant, the fact that you have arrested do not necessarily that the charges have been authorized. A lawyer can advise you of your rightsand how to manage contacts with the police. It can be very useful to have an attorney intercede on your behalf before a warrant was issued, because he may be able to influence "reload the decision". the Prosecutor's Office sometimes, an attorney will be able to persuade a Prosecutor to charge an less serious offence, refer the complaint to the police for an investigation over, or even refuse to allow a warrant. However, once a warrant is issued, it is very difficult to obtain a public prosecutor to amend the charge. Don't forget, Attorney Charles Johnson offers a free consultation for any person charged with a crime. You must take advantage of this free time with a lawyer to better understand the exact nature of your situation, and what is likely to happen for you.  To book an appointment with my Office by E-mail or call me at 512-832-1200 (toll-free to 877-308-0100).
