So you or someone you know has been arrested? It's an irksome feeling, but Kidder & Bennett are here to present your side of the case. Our primary concern is your best interest and we have extensive experience in minimizing and eliminating charges against our clientele.

Upon retaining our firm, we will investigate the case by obtaining the police reports, copies of video or audio tapes if available and all records the States are required to produce under the rules of criminal discovery, to determine the following:

• Were you or your vehicle lawfully stopped?
• Were you read your rights against self-incrimination (Miranda)?
• Did the officer accurately record the facts in his/her report?
• Were there any independent witnesses at the scene?
• Can evidence be suppressed if your constitutional rights were violated?
• Was there any misconduct on the part of Law Enforcement?
• Were you lawfully arrested

• At the free consultation we will inform you of possible options:
• Whether your case can be handled without the time and expense of a trial.
• Whether your case can be handled without a court appearance.
• Whether you may be eligible for a pretrial diversion program.
• Whether you may be eligible for a bond reduction.
• Whether items taken from you by police can be returned.
