What to Do If You Have Been Accused or Charged with a Property Crime
If you have been accused or charged with a crime, you need to act fast and start preparing your defense.
- Gather physical evidence. Start putting together anything which relates to the incident, such as video, photos, clothing, and other objects you believe are relevant.
- Gather documentation/records. Letters, emails, GPS records, financial accounts, and computer records can help your case.
- Make a list of potential witnesses. Anyone who you think may have information about an alleged defendant or the incident can be critical to helping prove your case.
Do not destroy any evidence which you think could hurt your case, and avoid speaking with the defendant, law enforcement, or other investigators without having a lawyer present. Until you receive proper legal guidance, refuse to voluntarily submit any testing or provide evidence to law enforcement, even if you believe that the evidence will help you.
