In many situations, the prosecutors charge cases that they cannot actually prove and that did not actually happen. So it’s good to sit down with a private attorney and have a free consultation and figure out what all your rights are and what all your options are.

Many attorneys do give free consultations, we do here at this office give free consultations. Feel free to call. Remember lawyers have good understanding, they are trained on the evidence rules and what facts will come in to court, what all the disposition options are or the plea agreement options are. They can discuss what all the different charges are that the prosecutor can bring forward against you.

Remember in many circumstances the charges don’t fit what happened. If two people say are in an argument in a home but it’s a friend and no one lives there, they don’t live there together they might get charged with a domestic violence crime if one person strikes the other. But it’s not actually in domestic violence crime. And so you need someone who understands the facts of the case and who can represent you against the other attorney because remember there is another attorney in the court room that is advocating against you.

So get good representation, call an attorney and get a free consultation and figure out what your rights are and what options you have. Good luck.

The officers understand the rules of engagement in that time period, you don’t. Even if you’re an experienced person that’s been through the criminal system a lot, you don’t understand as much about what’s going on as the police do. And so be confused, stay confused, and ask for an attorney. An attorney will be able to speak to the officers and will be able to represent what you want to say to the officers, but without making evidence that will be used against you in court.

So, ask for an attorney, “attorney” is the magic word, and remain silent. It’s your constitutional right and that’s what you should exercise.

A lot of people wonder whether their case will go to trial. And it’s difficult to say, you have to understand that your right to trial is the only power you carry with you as a defendant in the criminal court system. So it’s often best to be prepared to go to trial, but what your attorney should be doing is negotiating the case, and trying to get offers for you that you can say yes or no to along in the way. You want an attorney that is preparing for trial, and also is negotiating the case, so that you can get out of the system with the least amount of damage. Call our office, or any attorney’s office, and you most likely can get a free consultation to get a better sense about whether your case is going to actually go to trial.
