Investigatory Representation
Before Formal Charges are Filed
Pre-File/Investigatory Representation refers to the legal services provided during the investigation phase, before the prosecutor has filed any formal charges. During this time, law enforcement may be gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, or questioning individuals who they believe may be involved in a crime. If you are aware that you are under investigation, it is critical to retain legal representation as early as possible to protect your rights and prevent law enforcement from gaining an advantage over you.
At Stevens Law P.A., our attorney becomes the primary point of contact for law enforcement, which means that if you are approached by police officers or detectives, all communications go through us. This helps ensure that you do not inadvertently say something that could later be used against you in court. We also provide you with a direct line to your attorney, ensuring that you receive prompt guidance and support whenever needed.
