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.
-
What happens during a criminal trial?During a criminal trial, both the prosecution and the defense present evidence and arguments. It involves jury selection, opening statements, witness testimonies, cross-examinations, closing arguments, and jury deliberation. The verdict is delivered based on the evidence presented. Our team will guide you through every step of the process.
-
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.
