Criminal Defense

CALL (808) 808-6687

Charged? 

Under Investigation?

Don't Wait.

If you've been arrested, cited, or contacted by law enforcement, what you do in the next few hours can change your case.  A “simple conversation” with police can become evidence. A missed court date can become a warrant. A delay can limit your defense options.

Call Hicks Law now at (808) 808-6687 to schedule a free 15-minute criminal case consultation to protect your rights and your future.

Time Matters in Criminal Cases

In criminal defense, speed isn't a luxury. It's strategy. Early intervention can help:

  • prevent charges from being filed (in some cases)
  • reduce or avoid jail time
  • protect your record and reputation
  • keep mistakes from stacking up before court

Even if you think it's “not that serious,” the system often disagrees.

Do Not Talk to Police Without a Lawyer

If the police want to “clear things up” or “get your side,” stop. That conversation can be used against you later, even if you're innocent.

If you're being questioned:

  1. Say nothing
  2. Ask for an attorney
  3. Call us immediately
