You haven’t thought about criminal law since law school. What should you do and what questions should you ask when a client calls you in the middle of the night about a criminal matter? How do you counsel your client? What should you be sure not to do? What rights should you preserve? What ethical issues do criminal defense attorneys face, and how should you navigate them if they come up? And what’s next?
Find out everything you need to do to preserve the rights of your client, whether dealing with a minor problem or a serious matter, from the first minute your telephone rings until the dust settles. This program is a must for any attorney that needs a refresher in criminal law practice.
