No mystery, no guesses.
You reach Karan or his office directly, not a screening service. We believe in perfect customer service. The consultation is free and is offered in Spanish, Punjabi, or Hindi. There is no charge to talk your case through and develop a plan.
- 01/
1. You reach out and explain what happened
Send a message through the form or call — either way you reach the firm directly. Lay out the arrest, the accident, the charge, or whatever brought you here.
- 02/
2. Karan listens and tells you straight
We talk about what happened and you get an honest read on what you are facing and the deadlines that are already running.
- 03/
3. You leave with a plan
By the end of the consultation, you know the next step, what the firm will do, and what you should do right now. No pressure, just a clear path.
Here's what you should do right now.
Stop talking about the case
Use your right to remain silent. Be polite, give your name, and do not explain or argue. If you give more information than you need, it may be used against you in court.
Do not consent to a search or sign anything
You can decline a search and decline to sign statements until you have spoken with a lawyer. Saying no is your right, not an admission.
Write down everything while it is fresh
Names, badge numbers, times, witnesses, and what was said. If you were in a crash, photograph it and get medical attention. Details fade fast, so act with urgency and get all the information you can.
Mind the deadlines
Deadlines approach quickly. If you know you need to get something done, see an attorney fast. The earlier you act, the better.
