Frequently Asked Question

What is criminal defense?

Criminal defense is the legal strategy and actions taken in representing and defending an individual who has been accused of committing a crime. A criminal defense attorney specializes in protecting their client’s rights, navigating the legal system, and working towards getting the best possible outcome for the case, whether it be a dismissal, plea bargain, or trial.

What should I do if I am arrested or charged with a crime?

If you are arrested or charged with a crime, it is essential to remain calm and cooperative with law enforcement. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. It is advisable not to answer any questions or volunteer information without an attorney present. Contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case and determine the best course of action.

How does a criminal defense attorney help in a criminal case?

A criminal defense attorney plays a crucial role in a criminal case by providing legal advice, representing the accused in court, and ensuring that their client’s rights are protected. They can negotiate with prosecutors, prepare and present defense strategies, gather evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and guide clients through the legal processes and procedures.

What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

A misdemeanor is a less severe criminal offense, usually punishable by fines and possibly a short jail sentence. Common misdemeanors include petty theft, public intoxication, and minor drug possession. A felony is a more serious crime, punishable by prison time. Felonies include crimes such as murder, rape, and armed robbery.

What are my rights if I am accused of a crime?

If you are accused of a crime, you have several fundamental rights, including:

  • Right to remain silent: You are not obligated to answer any questions or provide statements that may incriminate you.
  • Right to an attorney: You have the right to legal representation, and if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you.
  • Right to a fair trial: You are entitled to a fair and public trial by an impartial jury.
  • Right to due process: You have the right to be treated fairly throughout the legal proceedings, and the prosecution must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
