About This Course

What’s the best way to advise a client who has been arrested or has had a family member arrested? For novice attorneys or those with little experience in criminal law, you may feel ill-equipped to properly guide your client in such a circumstance. This CLE course will offer a comprehensive overview of most common criminal offenses a client might be presented with including DUI and drug offenses. The course will explain how to conduct a client interview, discovery materials, suppression issues, civil and criminal penalties and the most effective plea negotiations to present to prosecutors.
