Introduction<\/h2>\n
When investigating a reported crime, police begin an investigation to understand who perpetrated a crime and what transpired. Witnesses point to others as suspects. Although police do not file charges right away after an arrest or talking to a person of interest, this events more often than not lead to criminal charges being filed.<\/p>\n
Before official filing, however, attorneys can make a difference in a case. They can find inconsistencies and point out relevant information in the cases to discuss with the prosecutors. This can result in reducing or eliminating charges before they are even filed.<\/p>\n
Even If there is not a solid case, police will sometimes still file charges against the person. It is important to have someone that knows the difference and how to halt weak charges from affecting a person\u2019s future.<\/p>\n
When a case is \u201cscratched\u201d, from a court\u2019s schedule, this does not necessarily mean that the case is closed and that charges cannot be filed in the future. An arrest without charges can be an uncertain situation to be in without the advice of a skilled Arizona attorney. The small window after an arrest and before charges is very important for you to find legal assistance.<\/p>\n
