Criminal charges typically begin with an allegation and investigations. If you are ever the target of an investigation by law enforcement, it’s best to be proactive and call an experienced criminal defense attorney, who can act as a buffer, ensure your rights are respected and protect you from making any unintentional, yet incriminating statements. This can often be the difference between explaining a misunderstanding and dealing with a drawn-out criminal case.
Not long ago, a local CEO in his fifties was in a precarious position after he treated a young woman on a trip to the salon. The employees noticed the apparent age gap between the two and contacted police, believing the woman may be a victim of human trafficking. The man was tracked down by the police based on his credit card receipt. The police opened an investigation, contacted the man for an interview which could have spiraled into very serious charges. Fortunately, the man preemptively contacted Fienman Defense, and Mike Fienman immediately got to work handling the matter on his behalf.
By working with an attorney as his buffer, the man was able to explain the nature of his relationship with the woman without doing more harm than good. Because the man took the matter seriously from the start, and his wise decision to retain attorney Michael Fienman, the case was eventually closed without formal charges ever being filled.
The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
