Generally, if you are under investigation or being arrested you should consult an attorney. You have a constitutional right to not talk to law enforcement. If you talk to a law enforcement officer, then what you say will be used against you. However, everything you talk to an attorney about is confidential - it is protected by the attorney-client privilege.

We can handle cases in the investigative stage and can help persuade law enforcement to not file formal charges. Thus, by talking to an attorney early on in a criminal case can help you. Our firm employs private investigators and we will fully investigate your case to protect your rights.

If you are charged with a crime and retain McDonald & Shearer, P.A. we will utilize discovery practices, depositions, forensic research, and professional field invesitigation to develop the best defense. We will file all appropriate pretrial motions to litigate the defenses you may have. If your case goes to trial, we will be prepared to pick a jury, cross-examine State witnesses, and put forth your defenses.

We invite you to compare our credentials with others before deciding on an attorney.
