IMPORTANCE OF HAVING AN ATTORNEY AT ALL STAGES OF YOUR CRIMINAL CASE

Whether you are being suspected of a crime, are being investigated for a crime, or you have already been arrested and charged with a crime, it is crucial that you protect your rights as well as your future by hiring a skilled criminal defense attorney who will be at your side during all stages of your case.

PRE-FILING STAGE: WHAT TO EXPECT BEFORE CHARGES ARE FILED

Being questioned by the police can be an intimidating experience, even if you believe you have not done anything wrong. The purpose of the questioning may be to simply gather information from you as a witness. However, it may also be to obtain incriminating statements from you to make their case stronger against you. Whatever the situation, you do not want to be questioned by law enforcement without counsel. If you have been contacted by the police, do not go alone.

Hiring an attorney prior to being charged with a crime can also be crucial in other aspects. Prosecutors often file cases prematurely, before they have received and reviewed all the relevant evidence. Your attorney may present other crucial information/evidence during the investigation stage, that may possibly undermine the prosecution’s evidence and weaken their case, helping the prosecution decide not to file charges against you.

POST-CHARGE PHASE: WHAT HAPPENS AFTER CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED

Hiring a criminal defense attorney after being arrested or charged with a crime is important to best protect your rights and/or prove your innocence if you think you are being wrongfully accused of a crime. Your attorney will conduct his or her own investigation, will file motions to suppress evidence that might have been illegally obtained by the police (i.e. in violation of your Constitutional rights), will challenge the prosecution’s evidence, which will weaken the prosecution’s case, and will negotiate a plea agreement that best serve your interests. Your attorney will also help you determine whether you should take a “plea deal” or go to trial to prove your innocence.
