Thanks for Contacting Grieve Law

While you wait to hear back from a criminal defense attorney at Grieve Law, you should begin building your case to ensure optimal results. The right case is built on solid details, so gather as much information as possible, including:

1. Description of the Event
   • Writing a detailed description of the event, with accurate information, will both help you and your lawyer determine the best course of action moving forward with building the defense argument.
2. Pictures of Evidence
   • Gather pictures of official documents you’ve received (tickets, insurance cards, etc…) to hold in your records and to build up your case.
3. Citation Numbers
   • Record any and all citation numbers received to streamline the process and to maintain a proper record of the events. If you received any paperwork from the police or other law enforcement, make sure to keep all of that documentation together as well.
4. Date of Appearance
   • You may have a court date set in your case. You may be required to appear at that court date unless after discussing your case we tell you otherwise. Set reminders, mark your calendar, or anything else you may need to do to remind yourself of this important date. Missing court might severely impact your case.
5. Brief Bio
   • Write a small self-bio highlighting your great qualities, characteristics, and lifestyle. In building your personal statement, you can relay intent and sincerity which may help you win your case.

*Remember—presenting the best defense possible is in your best interest* You may not have all of this information or access to it—don’t worry. You’re meeting with professional criminal justice attorneys that will inform you of the choices you have in your defense case.
