The Criminal Defense Representation You Deserve
If you or a loved one is facing criminal charges, it is important to find a criminal defense attorney who will fight for your rights. I am attorney Peter George O’Connor, and I have the experience and knowledge necessary to protect you from unfair treatment and ensure that you are given a fair trial. When your future is at risk, I will work hard to ensure your voice is heard and will create a tailored defense strategy to protect your rights, future and freedom.
I understand that good people can get caught up in bad situations, which is why if you are ever arrested or accused of a crime, it is important to have an aggressive lawyer on your side. I can help ease your fears and answer any questions you may have from the moment you contact me for your free initial consultation to your case’s completion. Even a criminal investigation can be serious, but if you act quickly, even before criminal charges have been formally filed, I may be able to help you avoid or minimize the consequences.
How PGO Law Firm Can Help You
At PGO Law Firm, I put my clients at the center of everything I do, emphasizing honest counsel and constant communication so you always know where your case stands and your legal options. I aim to provide certainty and offer relatable representation in plain English or Spanish – not legalese. Whether you need assistance fighting a traffic violation or face the complexities of a sex crime charge, you can rely on me to fight tirelessly for you.
I help clients with their misdemeanor or felony charges, including:
- DUI defense
- Domestic violence
- Theft crimes
- Gun defense
- Assault and battery
- Drug charges
- Sex crimes
- Traffic violations
- Gun crimes
I will investigate the circumstances of your arrest with an eye toward any violations of your constitutional rights to help protect you from unfair prosecution and help ensure that justice is served.
Your Next Steps After An Arrest
During an arrest, stay calm and comply with the arresting officer’s requests, but politely decline to answer any questions until your attorney is present. Anything you say or do can later be used against you, so it is important that you protect yourself from accidental self-incrimination. In fact, calling an attorney as soon as possible is one of the most important things you can do to protect your rights and freedom.
I can then get to work investigating the evidence against you, including the circumstances of your arrest or traffic stop, if the officer had probable cause, if there were search and seizure issues or if any other violations of your rights occurred. I will then build your defense to anticipate the prosecution’s case against you, leveraging my experience and skill in the courtroom to give you the strongest case possible to defend your rights and freedom.
