Pre-Filing Investigations

If you believe that criminal charges are about to be filed against you, it is always to your benefit to speak with a criminal defense attorney. Even if criminal charges never get filed by the District Attorney, you will benefit immensely from the advice and guidance of a skilled defense lawyer. The experienced attorneys at The Chahine Law Firm handle both state and federal pre-filing investigations and can review your case and discover evidence that may be used to your advantage before charges are filed.

Our attorneys will work as a liaison between yourself and the law enforcement agencies involved in an investigation and potential prosecution of your case. This may include, among other things, investigating the incident; retaining statements from potential witnesses; discussing the incident with police and prosecutors; and negotiating with prosecutors to seek to prevent formal charges from being filed. After carefully screening your case, your lawyer may be able to present substantial evidence to prosecutors that will dissuade them from filing criminal charges against you.

If you have found yourself in a situation where you believe you are a suspect in a state or federal investigation, or may become one, Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys from The Chahine Law Firm can help you. Our experienced attorneys will work on your behalf to help mitigate the situation you are potentially facing, or perhaps, persuade the authorities not to file charges. We have done it before and have the experience to do it again. Contact us today for a free private case consultation.
