If there is a warrant for your arrest, most times you will be treated more favorably if you turn yourself in than if the police have to seek you out and arrest you. By turning yourself in, you control the time, the place, and the circumstances of your arrest and can avoid potential injury.

If you believe the police have obtained a warrant and are about to arrest you, contact a criminal defense lawyer IMMEDIATELY!  People who are represented by counsel are treated differently by the detectives.  Call our office to discuss your circumstances. We can meet, formalize a relationship of attorney and client, and send a letter stating clearly and firmly that you are represented by counsel.  Then a lawyer can go with you when you turn yourself in to authorities and negotiate the best possible terms for you.

Minimizing bonds

If you retain McAfee & McAfee, PLLC, as your legal counsel, one of our lawyers will appear at your arraignment and argue for dismissal of your case if at all possible. If this request is unsuccessful, we will work to minimize the amount of bail you will be required to pay in order to gain your release from custody.

The judge sets the bond in order to ensure the suspect appears for a later court date. To minimize the amount of bail you or your family members have to pay, our attorneys will argue that:

• You pose no danger to the community
• You are unlikely to re-offend
• You have contacts and ties with the community that reduce your risk of flight

We will also challenge any inaccuracies in the prosecutor's description of the crime. For effective representation at the time of arrest and arraignment, please contact the criminal defense attorneys of McAfee & McAfee, PLLC today. The initial consultation is free of charge.

The attorneys of McAfee & McAfee, PLLC represent clients throughout Western Tennessee, including the residents of Memphis, Jackson, Dyersburg, and Shelby County.
