Facing an assault charge? ⚖️ What you do next can make the biggest difference 💯.

It’s not always about what you did to get the charges, but what you do after you are charged that predicts whether you could get stuck with a conviction, or receive a chance at a dismissal.

Taking proactive steps like enrolling in anger management, seeking therapy, or addressing any substance-related issues show that you’re serious about making a change in your life and could push a prosecutor to dismiss your case 😌.

💬 Are you facing an assault charge in DC? Feel free to give me a call and I would be happy to guide you through your options. 📞 (202) 221-2013.

Do you know what a protection order is (sometimes called a restraining order)? ⚖️🤔

Do you know whether you qualify to file one?

Most of the time, you need to have a qualifying relationship to file for protection order with the courts.

An order of protection can prevent someone from stalking you, making threats, or committing other domestic violence offenses against you.

But you can only get one if you have the right qualifying relationship with the person you are filing against.

Watch this quick video so you understand what a protection order is, how it works, and what your rights are whether you’re seeking one or responding to one.

💬 If you or someone you know is dealing with a protection order in DC, or if you have questions about next steps, feel free to give me a call. I’d be happy to walk you through your options. 📞(202) 221-2013

If you’re going to trial for a criminal charge, a good criminal lawyer will usually file these 2 motions:

📌1) A Motion to Suppress Evidence, and
📌2) A Motion in Limine

These motions can significantly impact the outcome of your case before the trial starts 💯.

Why? Because they affect the evidence that is presented at trial ✅, or excluded at trial ❌.

Sometimes the charges can be thrown out completely if you win on either of these motions.

Watch this quick video and let me know if your lawyer has ever filed either of these motions.

If you are ever in a car accident, the worst thing you can say is that you’re “feeling good” or that you're not injured 🤫.

After an accident, you may not always know the full extent of your injuries until days later ⏱️; But if you speak too soon and say you’re not injured, you may be talking yourself out of your possible future payout 💸.

Check out the video and let me know what you think. Have you ever said this right after an accident and how did it go?
