About Resisting Arrest Charges

There are situations where a law enforcement officer may choose to consider anything other than complete and unquestioning compliance as resisting arrest, leaving an unsuspecting arrestee in danger of facing serious criminal charges.  If you've been accused of resisting arrest, there are different ways that we may be able to effectively approach your defense.

For example, the officer may not have correctly notified you that he or she was with law enforcement.  The act on your part may have also been unintentional, or you may have had a valid reason to assume that the person attempting to arrest you was not actually with law enforcement.  By fully investigating your case from every angle, we can determine what issues to bring up in building a compelling case on your behalf.

In addition to handling your case involving resisting arrest charges, we can offer you aggressive criminal defense counsel against any other criminal charges you may be facing that led to your arrest in the first place.
