Protecting Your Rights From the Start

An arrest, investigation, or court summons can have severe and long-lasting consequences: criminal records, heavy fines, loss of employment, immigration issues, and even jail or prison time.
At Ace Law, attorney Kevin Acevedo provides immediate and strategic representation to protect your constitutional rights and ensure that the State follows the law at every stage of the process.

What Does a Criminal Defense Attorney Do?

A criminal defense attorney does more than just accompany you to court. Their work includes:

  • Analyzing the legality of the arrest
  • Reviewing possible violations of your rights (illegal searches, improper interrogations, lack of probable cause)
  • Evaluating evidence presented by the prosecution
  • Negotiating reductions or dismissals of charges
  • Aggressively representing you at trial if necessary

Many cases are won or lost in the first 48 hours. Anything you say, sign, or do without legal advice can be used against you.

Types of Criminal Defense Cases

A criminal defense attorney handles a wide variety of charges, including:

  • DUI / DWI (driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs)
  • Domestic violence
  • Assault and battery
  • Drug charges
  • Theft and robbery
  • Weapons offenses
  • Protective orders
  • Probation violations

Each case is unique. There are no generic solutions when your freedom, reputation, and future are at stake.

The Most Common Mistake: “I Can Explain It Myself”

Many defendants believe talking to the police will “clear things up.” In reality, everything you say can be used against you, even if you are innocent.

The police investigate.
The prosecution charges.
Your lawyer defends.

Never give a statement without prior legal advice.

What Happens If You Ignore a Criminal Charge?

Ignoring a charge or summons can drastically worsen the situation:

  • Active arrest warrants
  • Lost opportunities to negotiate the case
  • More severe penalties
  • Negative impact on your criminal record

Acting quickly shows responsibility and opens more legal options.

Ace Law: Strategic and Professional Defense
