About GuardLine Defense
GuardLine Defense exists for one reason: a person facing a criminal charge in the United States should not have to face it alone, confused, and in a language that is not their own.
We are a free attorney-matching and know-your-rights service. When someone tells us what they are facing, we work to connect them with an independent criminal defense attorney who handles that kind of case, in their state, in their language. The first conversation is free, and there is no obligation.
Why we are free
You never pay GuardLine Defense. We are paid on a flat-fee marketing basis by the network of attorneys we work with — not a percentage of anyone's fees, and never out of your pocket. That keeps our guides free and keeps the matching simple and honest.
What we are not
We are not a law firm, we are not your attorney, and nothing on this site is legal advice. Using GuardLine Defense does not create an attorney-client relationship. We are also not immigration lawyers — but we can connect you with a defense attorney who understands how a criminal matter can affect your immigration status. This site is attorney advertising.
Honest, not hype
We never promise an outcome and we never pretend to be a law firm. We tell you what we are: a free service that helps you find a defense attorney.
Built for newcomers
Every guide is written in plain language, in your language, for people facing the U.S. legal system for the first time.
Free and confidential
You never pay us, and your request is private. Your immigration status does not change your right to a defense.
