Pre-charge Defense

You Have Not Been Charged—Yet. This Is the Most Dangerous Moment.

If police, detectives, CPS, narcotics units, or federal agents have contacted you, requested an interview, seized property, or executed a search warrant, you are already under investigation—even if no charges have been filed. At this stage, prosecutors are quietly and deliberately building a case without opposition.

This is where cases are won or lost before they ever reach a courtroom.

At Mumen Barlaskar Law Firm PLLC, we provide pre-charge, intervention-focused defense designed to stop cases before charges are authorized, limit exposure, and control damage. Prosecutors charge cases that go unchallenged. They hesitate when experienced trial counsel intervenes early.

What “Under Investigation” Really Means

Being “under investigation” may include:
- A detective requesting an interview
- Police asking you to “clear things up”
- Execution of a search warrant
- Device seizure or forensic review
- Allegations reported but not yet charged
- Probation or parole scrutiny
Law enforcement is not seeking your side of the story—they are seeking evidence.

Why Early Intervention Changes Everything

Pre-charge defense allows us to:

Block or limit interviews
Control evidence flow
Challenge illegal searches immediately
Present exculpatory evidence proactively
Deter overcharging
Prevent arrest warrants

Once charges are filed, leverage decreases. Silence without strategy is not protection—it is surrender.

Pre-Charge Defense in High-Risk Investigations

We routinely intervene in investigations involving:

Domestic violence allegations
Assault or violent crime accusations
Drug investigations and search warrants
Internet sex crime stings
Retail fraud and internal investigations
Airport cash seizure and forfeiture cases

Each requires precision, discretion, and trial-level credibility.

What NOT to Do While Under Investigation

Do not speak to police or detectives
Do not attempt to explain or justify conduct
Do not consent to searches
Do not discuss the matter electronically
Do not assume “no charges yet” means safety
Investigations are built on voluntary mistakes.

Our Pre-Charge Strategy

Our approach is calculated and aggressive:

Immediate assertion of representation
Evidence preservation demands
Suppression groundwork
Prosecutorial pressure before charging
Trial-ready posture from day one

We prepare every case as if it will go to trial—and prosecutors know it.

Trial Lawyer Intimidation Is Not Aggression—It Is Preparation

Prosecutors respect one thing: risk. We create risk by preparing cases as jury trials, filing motions early, and refusing to posture from weakness.

This approach:

Forces better plea offers
Produces dismissals
Stops charges from being filed at all
