Emailing Attorneys Professionally

Summary

When emailing an attorney, use a polite and professional tone. Include a brief subject line and introduce yourself with relevant details. In Texas, failure to register as a sex offender is a third-degree felony, potentially leading to imprisonment. During a search and seizure, law enforcement must have probable cause and a valid warrant. You have the right to remain silent and to an attorney. At a plea hearing, you can accept or reject a plea deal. Consult your attorney to understand the implications and continue to exercise your rights.

Dear Sam Darnall,  I hope this email finds you well. My name is Nicholas Kohanowski.  I received your letter announcing appointment as defense attorney to my case.  I am writing this email hoping this is a good way to quickly contact.  You can reach me by: email: nkohanowski@gmail.com cell: (*) *-* I was arrested on May 9th * at *:55am by the Abilene Police Department for 3F Failure to Register SOR.  It was the result of a daytime Search and Seizure Warrant to seize all the electronic equipment and evidence related to Possession of Ilegal Pornograghy.  Abilene Police were assisting with the storm troopers.  It was like a dozen government vehicles, with full tactical gear and assault rifles putting handcuffs on my son, wife and myself setting us out on the front lawn in handcuffs in our night clothes.  You will be happy to know we all invoked first instance.
