Best Criminal Defense Lawyers in Cheyenne, WY

As an attorney, my obligation is to make sure that we build the strongest legal case possible for you. You can help that by gathering evidence. Note, sometimes it’s best if you don’t get the evidence, but instead tell us what and where it is so that our investigator can get it. You may not want to alert the perpetrator that you’re documenting what happened. You probably don’t want to do interviews yourself. You probably should take photos of yourself. Let’s get more specific on the kinds of evidence that we should be thinking about. 1. Blind Report at the ER: Within 72 hours of the incident, visit the ER for a 'blind' medical report. This ensures your records aren’t automatically reported to law enforcement. 2. Police Report: Consider making a police report. If you're unsure, let's discuss how an investigation might affect you. Remember, the prosecutor isn’t your attorney, but a victim’s advocate can be a great resource. 3. Document Everything: Save all texts and communications with the perpetrator. Even seemingly insignificant texts can be crucial. Consider preserving any security camera footage as well. 4. Take Photos of Injuries: If you have any visible injuries, document them with photos. 5. Seek Professional Health Evaluations: Talk to a counselor about the event's impact on your life, as effects can manifest over time. Need guidance?
