Bloomington, Illinois, Pre-File Investigation Lawyer

Normal IL Criminal Defense Lawyers

Criminal charges are not always filed immediately. In many cases, the police conduct an investigation first. Sometimes that investigation involves the police coming to your door and talking to you about allegations of an assault or another crime. Other times, the investigation is much more thorough, particularly in cases involving sex crimes or white collar crimes.

If you believe you are under investigation, you are not required to cooperate with the police and answer their questions. In fact, the police are trained to get you to waive your rights and incriminate yourself. It is often better not to work with them directly. Instead, you can enlist an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect your rights. At Johnson Law Group, our attorneys will start fighting immediately to prevent charges from being filed against you.

What Does Pre-File Investigation Mean?

Pre-file investigation is a unique service offered by our law firm. Our willingness to get started even before a criminal charge has been filed is an example of our commitment to aggressive representation, our commitment to the best possible outcome.

Our attorneys have experience not only in criminal defense, but in prosecution and law enforcement. We know how police officers conduct investigations and how prosecutors build cases. We have been on the inside, so we know how to work with our opponents in order to get a positive outcome early on.

By conducting a pre-file investigation, we may be able to:

• Prevent filing of criminal charges
• Divert criminal allegations into an informal resolution
• Reduce criminal charges
• Assist with surrender and avoid arrest

Our record of success speaks for itself. In one case, we represented a person being investigated for multiple instances of credit card fraud and identity theft. We conducted a pre-file investigation. We worked with bank officials and police officers. Eventually, our lawyers convinced the prosecutor not to file charges.

Pre-File Investigation Also Makes Sense Financially

Obviously, our pre-file investigation services make sense in terms of the results they can provide. They also make sense financially. If successful, you avoid the cost of full-on criminal defense and trial representation. In addition, we offer these services on a flat fee basis. You pay us once, up front. If we are not successful, that fee goes toward your defense costs.
