When it comes to the criminal process, the prosecutor may be more open minded with a lawyer they have worked with before and are aware of their legal knowledge and expertise, and even developed a professional rapport that may help with your case.
Your case may be managed by a dedicated attorney or a collaborative team, depending on complexity. We'll clarify who your main point-of-contact is. You can expect consistent communication via your preferred method—phone, email, or in-person—and timely updates throughout your case.
