Aiding and Abetting Charges Will Point to You as an Accessory

Seek criminal defense representation in Cleveland, OH

Even though you weren’t present during the commission of a crime, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re off the hook. You can be charged with aiding and abetting if the state finds evidence that you supported the efforts of another party who committed a crime.
This might involve:

  • Assisting or enabling the person who committed the crime during the planning stage
  • Providing monetary assistance to help in the commission of the crime
  • Providing information that allowed the person committing the crime to carry it out

You could also find yourself charged with being an accessory to a crime if you knew a person committed a crime and took action to keep that person from being apprehended. If you’re charged with aiding and abetting or being an accessory, seek legal representation immediately by calling The Hofelich Law Firm, LLC in Cleveland, Ohio.
