Whether you’re accused of driving off during a traffic stop or running away during an arrest, the law treats fleeing very seriously. These situations are rarely black and white, and it’s important to know what’s at stake.

At McCready Law Group, I understand that sealing your criminal record can profoundly impact your life, opening doors to new opportunities and helping to reduce the stigma associated with past mistakes.
