Are you a law firm?

No. CAN is not a law firm. CAN is a non-law-firm, legal marketing and attorney-connection service that helps connect people with independent criminal defense attorneys.

How fast will someone answer?

I was just charged with theft — what should I do first?

Stay calm and avoid making detailed statements about the situation before speaking with a criminal defense attorney. Keep any paperwork you were given and write down what happened while the details are still fresh. Criminal Attorneys Now can help connect you with a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.

Is this confidential?

We handle information with care and only collect what is needed to connect you and follow up. Contacting CAN does not create an attorney-client relationship.
