arrested/Charged — What's the next Step?

Your immediate priority is to consult a lawyer. Even if your Court date is weeks away, your case might require prompt action (for example, sending a letter to preserve evidence, as I did in Garth's Case). Moreover, you need to understand where you are, where you are headed, and where you might land. If you have conditions of release, we need to review those (3 out of 5 people do not fully understand them).

During our initial consultation, we have much ground to cover. As I explain in Your Role, you need to educate me about the allegations, the history behind them, and your interaction with the police. I must rely on you as king of the facts. You must rely on me as king of the law. I need to educate you about the charge(s), the process, and the potential consequences. I'll give you my preliminary assessment, and together we'll identify your objectives.
