Pre-file Case Process

A pre-file case is a matter that is undergoing a criminal investigation by law enforcement and has not yet reached formal charging by a prosecuting agency. This “Pre-file” stage provides the accused with an opportunity to present relevant, favorable evidence to the law-enforcement agency or the prosecuting agency reviewing the case prior to charging in an effort to show that there is “no reasonable likelihood of conviction” and that criminal charges should not be filed or that less serious charges should be filed.
