What if I have not been arrested, but am only under investigation?
If you are being investigated for a crime, it is highly likely
that you will be arrested shortly. As soon as you are aware that you
are being investigated for a crime, whether it is a white collar crime
or other charge, get legal representation. Don't answer any questions
from federal investigators, law enforcement or other investigatory unit
without legal representation to advise you how to proceed. It is true
what you say and do will be used in the case against you, and "friendly"
investigators are definitely not your friends. You need legal counsel
at once if you are being investigated on criminal charges.
Do I need to hire a lawyer?
When charged with a crime you are taking your life into yor
hands if you do not get the assistance of a skilled criminal defense
attorney to fight for you. When accused individuals, even when innocent
of the charges, do not seek out a proven defense lawyer to fight on
their behalf, they may face serious consequences. Florida has extremely
harsh penalties for crimes, when you contact the Law Offices of Robert
S. Franklin, P.A. you can increase the chances of a better outcome in

What if I am innocent of the charges?

with a crime that indicates that the prosecutor believes you are guilty
and that there is enough evidence to convict you. It is necessary to be
proactive and immediately get a proven defense lawyer from the Offices
of Robert S. Franklin, P.A. to fight for your freedom.
How do I know what lawyer to choose?
It is best to interview the attorney and find out what their
experience is. Many lawyers will defend criminal charges on occasion
but actually focus on a different practice area, such as personal
injury. It is important to find an attorney that is proven and that has
long experience in dealing with serious criminal charges. Attorney Rob
