Facing criminal charges, or learning that you are under investigation, is stressful, and what happens early can matter. Only a lawyer can advise you on your own situation. Client to Law is not a law firm, but we can connect you with an independent defense attorney for a free 30-minute consultation.
Please don't describe what happened
Our chat is not a confidential conversation with a lawyer, so what you write is not protected by attorney-client privilege. We ask only for the basics, such as the charge, the court and your next court date. A defense attorney will ask you for the details directly and in confidence.
What this covers
- Misdemeanor and felony charges
- Arrests and criminal investigations
- Upcoming court dates
- Probation or parole issues
- Citations and other infractions
What to have ready
- The charge or charges, as written on your paperwork
- The court, the case number and your next court date
- Whether you are in custody
- Whether a private attorney is already handling your case
Common questions
What if I am in custody or my court date is soon? Tell Airik at the start. The intake asks about custody and upcoming court dates so the attorney can see how soon you need help. If you are in danger, call 911.
Can I just tell Airik my side of the story? Please do not. Airik is an AI assistant, and the conversation is not privileged. Save the details for the attorney.
