Different Kinds of Criminal Law

When you are accused of a crime, it will fall into two distinct categories: felonies and misdemeanors. Misdemeanors are offenses that are generally minor and result in less than a year in jail and/or a fine. If you are found guilty of a felony, there are severe consequences including longer incarceration terms and it can impact your life in the long-term. It can be hard to find a job with a felony on your record. If you are accused of either a misdemeanor or a felony, it is recommended that you get the legal counsel of an experienced attorney.

Bail and Arraignments

At this court proceeding, you will be notified of the charges against you and you will be asked to enter a plea. At the arraignment, the court will also determine whether you will be released on bail until your trial date. Your criminal defense attorney can help explain your options when it comes to your arraignment. You have the right to an attorney during these critical proceedings.

Our attorneys will build a defense strategy based on the nature of the charge and the available evidence. Common examples include self-defense, duress and an affirmative defense.

When you have been falsely charged with a crime, you need a criminal defense lawyer more than ever. The prosecution’s job is to collect evidence and prove a case of guilt. They will attempt to use your own words against you. Even if you are not guilty of the crime they are accusing you of, do not talk to the police without an attorney present. You need to protect yourself from ending up incarcerated for a crime you did not commit. Tell the authorities that you will not speak with them and wish to talk to your attorney. Call our office and we will be there to assist you through this stressful time.

When you have a warrant out for your arrest, you may always feel on the edge. You may be afraid that at any moment you can be taken into custody, and your whole life is turned upside down. There are several ways to clear up an arrest warrant. The first step is to confirm that you have an arrest warrant by calling the local courthouse. You can then pay bail to prevent police from arresting you and then you will need to attend your court date. When you find out there is a warrant for your arrest, contact a criminal defense attorney.

You do not have to speak to the police, and should not ever answer questions without a legal representative present. Police can lie and manipulate facts that may make you feel like you need to explain yourself. Anything you tell the police can be used against you. If the police start questioning you, inform them that you wish to stop and would like to speak with your attorney. By law, they must cease all questioning and let you call your lawyer.
