Criminal Defense Lawyers Serving Those Who Need It Most

Persons who are convicted of a crime are typically punished with expensive fines and jail sentences, depending upon the crime. But the consequences of a criminal conviction actually run much deeper than that. Even if you are placed on probation and avoid jail time, having a criminal record can cause you to lose your job, occupational license or security clearance, not to mention the damage to your reputation in the community.

The attorneys at the Pack Law Group devote themselves to providing a strong, effective defense designed to get you the best possible outcome in your criminal case. Our team includes a former prosecutor for the Commonwealth of Virginia and an experienced defense lawyer who together know the law and understand what it takes to get charges reduced or dismissed, or to win an acquittal or not guilty verdict at trial.

Know Your Rights. Protect Them And Use Them.

At the Pack Law Group, we defend people charged with all manner of misdemeanor and felony offenses, including:

• DUI and traffic violations
• Drug charges
• Theft and property offenses
• Assault and violent crime
• Homicide and murder
• Sex offenses
• White collar crime
• Internet and computer crime

Remember that as a person accused of a crime, you are innocent until proven guilty, and if the prosecutor cannot prove every element of the charges against you beyond a reasonable doubt to a unanimous jury, you cannot be convicted. To help you in your defense, you are entitled to be represented by an attorney of your choosing at every significant step of the process. This includes arraignment, bail hearings and preliminary hearings, as well of course as the trial itself.

What To Do After Getting Charged

First, know that you should remain silent. This is tough; police officers are excellent at making suspects feel like they can “clear everything up” by just answering a few questions. They might imply that they have devastating evidence against you, so you may as well talk and minimize the damage. They might tell you that refusing to answer questions is, in itself, a sign of guilt.

Ignore this and remain silent anyway. Anything you say will not “clear things up.” In fact, anything you say will only be used to build a case against you. You and the police officers interrogating you do not have the same goals. They want to get charges filed and finish up a case. You want to prove your innocence.

Next, contact an attorney as soon as possible. Many people believe that they can represent themselves and negotiate a good outcome. Do not make this mistake. It doesn’t matter if you are 100% innocent – if the prosecutor can build a case that the jury will believe, you could still go to jail and go broke paying fines for a crime you did not even commit.

Do not let the fear of financial woes keep you from hiring an attorney. You can always earn more money, but you can never get back the time and opportunities you lose when you are unfairly convicted.
