Can I represent myself in court?While you have the right to represent yourself, it is not advisable. Criminal defense is complex and having a skilled attorney increases your chances of a favorable outcome. An experienced defense attorney understands the legal system, can negotiate on your behalf, and will work to protect your rights.
-
When should I contact a defense attorney?Contact a defense attorney as soon as you are aware of an investigation or charges against you. The earlier an attorney is involved, the better they can prepare your defense. Early involvement also helps protect your rights during investigations and hearings.
-
What is a plea bargain?A plea bargain is an agreement between you and the prosecutor where you plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence or dropping other charges. It can be a strategic decision to avoid trial, but it's important to discuss the implications with your attorney before agreeing.
-
What are my rights if I am arrested?If you are arrested, you have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is important to clearly state your desire for legal counsel and to refrain from answering questions without an attorney present. These rights are designed to protect you during legal proceedings.
