If you or someone you love is facing criminal charges, we know it can be a frightening and bewildering experience that can leave you feeling helpless. The criminal justice system can be complex and confusing if you do not know what to expect. If you have been arrested, it is important to have an experienced criminal defense attorney to represent you.

CHOOSING A DEFENSE ATTORNEY

If you have been arrested or accused of a crime, you obviously have a lot of questions you need answered. The Law Offices of Christopher Zander & Associates can answer these questions for you during a free consultation. The first step for  anyone accused of a crime is to say, “I would like to contact my attorney.“

NEVER WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY

Your rights granted by law cannot be protected if you waive your right to an attorney. Many people think cooperating fully with the police will get them preferential treatment and help prove their innocence. This is not the case. Law enforcement will gather evidence and try to build a case against you. It is not their job to protect your rights. Choosing a criminal defense attorney can be the most important decision you make. You should not answer any questions without your attorney present.

The Law Offices of Christopher Zander & Associates are small enough to give you the individual personal attention you deserve. Do not represent yourself; being charged and convicted of a crime can lead to serious consequences including job loss, a permanent criminal record and time in jail.
