There is a window of opportunity between an arrest and the filing of formal charges to avoid criminal prosecution as the State does not initiate formal prosecution against all persons arrested for a criminal offense. The State selects which cases to prosecute. The time period before your first court date is called intake or the intake process. Once retained, I will start to work on your criminal case immediately, before the State Attorney files formal charges. 

This pre-filing representation gives my clients the opportunity to influence the State Attorney’s filing decision and, in some cases, avoid being formally charged with the crime for which they were arrested. I take an aggressive approach and explore all your options for a successful solution to your case, with an emphasis on alternatives to a life-long criminal record. Hiring an aggressive criminal defense lawyer quickly after an arrest remains the most effective way to defend yourself against an unjust prosecution.

Future and Your Freedom

I was dealing with a restraining order from an ex girlfriend. I spoke to many lawyers in San Diego ca, and after being in Jennifer Goldman’s office for the first time and talking about my case I knew she would be the one representing me. She was very professional, knew exactly what she was talking about, was comprehensive and gave me the confidence of knowing I was in the best hands I could be. Jennifer was on top of everything from day one and responded to any questions and doubts I had. She guided me thru the whole process and the outcome was we winning the case and the restraining order was dismissed. She is very professional, an expert, detailed and no question the best lawyer you can have represent you.

County Criminal History

The society will not get any monetary gain from the criminal case. In criminal case the court will sentence the accused to imprisonment if they are found guilty. Nothing more will happen. 2. The society cannot withdraw the case. The only remedy for the accused is to move the High Court for quashing of the charges. Charges will not be quashed on the mere ground that the society has nothing to gain from the criminal case. 3. If the case has not been fully investigated then the accused can move to High Court for a free and fair investigation. The quashing of case can be sought since there is a delay in the disposal thereof. High Court will decide whether to quash or sustain the case. 4. If the accused do not wish to face the trial then they may move to High Court for quashing if there is any ground for quashing.  A local Prince William County Criminal History Background Check can be performed for those who can prove their Prince William County residency and/or arrest. You must have two f
