FAQs & Your Rights

FOR FAMILIES

Supporting Your Loved One

Confidentiality

Attorneys cannot discuss case details with family members without their client's explicit consent. This protects your loved one.

Be Present

Your presence in court shows support and can positively impact the case. Dress appropriately and arrive on time.

Gather Documents

Help collect employment records, character references, or proof of residence that may assist the defense.

Stay Connected

Regular communication provides emotional support during a difficult time. Your presence matters.
