02Worth knowing
03Before your consultation
Start with what you know.
Bring the paperwork you have, the dates that matter, and your questions. You do not need a perfect account before asking for help.
Gather your documents.
Court notices, bond paperwork, citations, insurance letters — whatever you have received.
Write down the dates.
Court settings, deadlines, and when things happened. Deadlines can run from when a notice was served.
Protect the evidence.
Keep messages and photos. Don’t delete anything, and don’t discuss the case online.

04Common questions
Questions people ask first.
General information only. Your situation deserves advice about its own facts.
Can the complaining witness drop the charge?
A witness can express their wishes, but that does not automatically end a prosecution. The prosecutor generally decides whether to proceed.
Can I contact the other person?
Follow the exact terms of any bond condition or protective order. Ask your attorney to review those terms before making contact.
