. . . don’t do anything before you talk to a criminal defense lawyer. Don’t talk to the police, don’t try to explain, don’t make a quick plea just so you don’t have to go to court again. What may seem like fairly minor offenses, like DUI, domestic assault and battery or providing alcohol to a minor, may have serious consequences that you may not know about.
If your child has been charged with a crime, it may be even more important that you find qualified, experienced counsel for him or her. Criminal offenses can have an impact on student loan eligibility, college admission and job applications, among other things. A criminal charge today can follow your child for the rest of his or her life.
