Legal Questions? We’ve Got Answers.
Browse our FAQs to better understand your rights, options, and our process.
Stay calm, remain silent, and ask to speak with an attorney immediately. Do not answer questions from law enforcement or try to explain your side—anything you say can be used against you. You have the right to legal representation, and we’re here to protect your rights from the very beginning.
Yes. Even if you’re innocent, the criminal justice system can be complex and intimidating. A defense attorney ensures your rights are protected and helps prevent mistakes that could harm your case. Innocence does not guarantee a fair outcome without strong legal advocacy.
At your arraignment, the charges against you will be formally read, and you’ll be asked to enter a plea (typically “not guilty” at this stage). The judge may also address bail. Having a lawyer present ensures your rights are protected and sets the tone for a strong defense.
In many cases, yes. Factors like lack of evidence, procedural errors, or successful negotiations with the prosecutor can lead to dropped or reduced charges. Every case is unique, and we work aggressively to pursue the best possible outcome.
Not always. Many criminal cases are resolved through plea negotiations or dismissal before trial. However, if a trial is necessary, we are fully prepared to defend you in court. We’ll explain your options at every stage and help you make informed decisions.
Costs vary based on the complexity of the case, the charges, and whether the case goes to trial. We offer transparent, up-front pricing and will discuss all fees during your initial consultation so there are no surprises.
Bring any documents related to your case—police reports, court notices, bail papers, and anything else you’ve received. The more information we have early on, the better we can assess your case and begin building a defense.
Yes. We understand that criminal charges can be urgent and overwhelming. Contact us as soon as possible for a confidential consultation. The earlier you involve a lawyer, the more we can do to help.
A misdemeanor is a less serious crime, typically punishable by up to one year in jail. A felony is more serious and can carry penalties including prison time of over a year, hefty fines, and long-term consequences. We handle both and will explain what the charges mean in your specific case.
It depends on the charge and outcome. Some convictions may be eligible for expungement or sealing, meaning they could be removed from or hidden on your public record. We can advise you on your eligibility and guide you through the process if applicable.
No — not without your attorney present. You have the right to remain silent. Even if you think you’re helping yourself, anything you say can be misinterpreted or used against you. Always consult with a defense attorney first.
If your Miranda rights weren’t read during a custodial interrogation, certain statements you made may be inadmissible in court. This doesn’t mean your case will be automatically dismissed, but it could significantly impact the prosecution’s evidence. We’ll review this in detail during your case review.
Every case is different. Some cases resolve quickly, while others may take months or longer, especially if they go to trial. We’ll give you an honest timeline estimate and keep you informed every step of the way.
Possibly, but there may be restrictions depending on the terms of your bail or release. Always check with your attorney before traveling or relocating while charges are pending.
Yes. You have the right to choose your own legal representation at any time. If you’d prefer private counsel, we can discuss your case confidentially and help you make the transition.
