If the Accuser Does Not Come to Court or Will Not Prosecute

Even if you think that the accuser will not want to press charges, or will not be coming to court, you will still need representation by a good criminal law attorney. The Wake County District Attorney will often try to prosecute these cases even without the "victim" coming to court. The District Attorneys' Office generally prohibits allowing the victim to drop charges even if he or she wants to.

What If the Police Want to Talk to Me?

Law enforcement will frequently try to convince, or even coerce, you into giving a statement by making false promises of favorable treatment. But whatever benefit you get from talking to the police is far outweighed by the damage you will do to your case. The most important thing to remember if confronted by law enforcement is to say and do nothing until hiring a defense attorney to protect your rights.
