Have You Been Charged With Resisting Arrest?

If you have been arrested in connection with evading arrest, there are defense strategies that may help your case. In some cases, people who did not even know they were being followed are arrested in connection with evading arrest simply because they did not pull over as soon as the police officer turned on the flashing lights. In other cases, a person being pulled over may have not had anywhere to stop his or her car.

Regardless of the circumstances of your arrest, it is important to defend your constitutional rights. The consequences of a conviction could be harsh. Evading arrest on foot is a class B misdemeanor. Evading arrest in a motor vehicle is a felony ! If you are charged with either, it is important to mount an aggressive criminal defense. Our lawyers know how to fight evading arrest charges and can help you with all aspects of your criminal defense.

You are Presumed to Be Innocent in the Eyes of the Law

In order to arrest you, the police only needed "probable cause." Understand that "probable cause" is only a tiny fraction of the evidence the government needs to obtain a conviction. The District Attorney must prove the allegations "beyond a reasonable doubt," which is the highest evidentiary standard in the law. Just because you have been arrested does not mean that you are guilty under the law. Remember that you are presumed to be innocent under the law.

I was faced with a first degree felony, which meant 5-99 years behind bars. It was terrifying. You are not only a great attorney but a very honest man with integrity...you saved my life.

From the first moment I met Mr. Pelley, he made me feel at ease. I was always updated, whether via mail or phone call of court dates and information concerning my case. He did a remarkable job and went above and beyond all my expectations. I wouldn't have to think twice about recommending Mr. Pelley to represent any of my family members or closest friends.
