Pre-charging Investigation
If you are suspected of committing a criminal offense, you need a criminal defense attorney immediately. During this time of uncertainty, an attorney can do pre-filing investigations and contact the investigating officer on your behalf. Too often we are contacted after the client has already given a statement to the police, which just makes things harder to fight later. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT NOT TO TALK TO THE POLICE! Don’t talk to the cops.
At Durflinger Oliver & Associates we contact the police for you, since nothing we say can be used against you. Remember, the police are very good at getting suspects to talk. If you are innocent, then you need a Tacoma criminal defense attorney to deal with the cops on your behalf. Two of the purposes of pre-filing investigations are to advise you of your rights and to negotiate with police and prosecutors. It is also a way of showing the prosecution that their case is weak and therefore not worth pursuing. This can save you thousands of dollars in bail premiums alone.
During our many years of practicing criminal defense law in the Pierce County area, we have earned a reputation among law enforcement officers and prosecutors for practicing criminal law with integrity, giving us credibility and allowing us to establish important professional relationships. Our good reputation is an invaluable part of our pre-charging investigations and benefits our clients at every stage of their criminal cases.
