Schedule Your Free Consultation

At the Brannen Law Office, P.C., we offer free consultations for those charged with criminal offenses. As these first moments following your arrest can be pivotal moments in the outcome of your case, it is important that you call a capable Statesboro criminal defense lawyer before speaking to police.

Even when you think you are helping your case by explaining yourself, police can use any statement you make against you. During your free initial consultation, we will go over your situation and help you better understand the legal options you have available.

Some important things to remember are:

• Police must obtain evidence lawfully: If we are able to show that the proof against you was obtained in any way that was not totally legal, your case could even be dropped.
• It may have been someone else: There are plenty of cases where a mistaken identity put an innocent person away. By requiring your accuser to positively identify you, there is a chance you may be able to protect yourself.
• Telling your story matters: With the help of an experienced lawyer, you can tell your side of the events in a compelling way. There are often details that police do not collect for their cases, so uncovering these events can help you obtain a better outcome.
