Early Intervention with a Defense Attorney is Critical

Criminal charges can jeopardize your entire life, from the reputation you’ve worked so hard to build in the community, to your career, relationships and more. They can result in steep penalties including fines and imprisonment, and a tarnished criminal record that follows you for the rest of your life.

At Germain Legal, our first priority is preventing charges from being filed in the first place. By acting fast, we can often intervene, heading off potential charges or investigations before a district attorney sinks their teeth into the case. If you have already been charged, we work quickly to build a solid defensive position, strengthening your case and capitalizing on any opportunity to get the case or charges dropped, dismissed or reduced.
