Representation from the Earliest Stages
The mere laying of criminal charges can have a significant impact on an individual’s work and personal life. Charges can affect a persons’s reputation in the community and can limit future employment prospects. Because of the significant consequences that arise from a criminal charge, retaining legal counsel is advisable from the earliest stages of a police investigation.
The lawyers at Peck and Company often advocate for clients at the police investigation stage, before charges are laid. In some cases, counsel can assist clients in avoiding the laying of charges.
