Why Early Legal Help Matters in Middletown Cases
Some of the most important decisions in your case are made before you ever appear in front of a judge. When we step in early, we can often:
● Challenge the way evidence was collected
● Protect your rights during police questioning
● Preserve surveillance footage or other time-sensitive evidence
● Prepare you for arraignment and protective order hearings
● Negotiate bond and release conditions more effectively
Once you appear in court, bond, conditions, and case strategy become harder to change. That’s why hiring counsel before your first court date is critical.
