No one wants to be arrested by the police and charged with breaking the law. If you are accused of a crime, and particularly if you’ve been wrongly accused, or if you believe that what you did was legally justifiable, the idea of being sent to jail or prison is almost intolerable.

If you’re accused of breaking the law in or near Fairfax, don’t plead guilty, and do not try to be your own lawyer, either. That puts your family, freedom, and future at even more risk. A guilty plea establishes a criminal record and everything that goes along with a criminal record.

Additionally, acting as your own lawyer simply is not practical. The law is exceedingly complicated, and if you make a mistake or say something that can be twisted and used against you, jail or prison could be the result. If you’re accused of a crime, you’ll need a criminal defense lawyer’s help.
