In many cases, most judges will offer a lighter sentence in exchange for a guilty plea at the arraignment. By pleading guilty and avoiding a court trial, you may receive a lesser punishment and avoid a potentially harsher penalty. However, this is on a case by case basis and your case will need to be reviewed thoroughly.

11/22/2016

Hard work is the trademark of any attorney. Mastering the art of presenting before a jury, and of negotiating with the opposing side takes many years and much experience, and no attorney would ever say that they are finished learning.

11/17/2016

When you are going through a criminal case, anxiety and stress are a given. Having a good attorney on your side will allow you to focus on handling those concerns, rather than worrying about that as well as what the next legal step may be.

11/15/2016

In many cases, the distinction between a felony and a misdemeanor crime is only separated by the matter of degree. For example, aggravated assault or threatening someone with bodily harm with a weapon is a felony. Simple assault without a weapon is a misdemeanor.

11/10/2016

The facts in any case are the most important thing that an attorney must have. As ugly as they may be, an attorney is trained to make the best of them, and not knowing them means that your attorney cannot do so.

11/08/2016

There are three categories that criminal offenses are labeled as: felony, misdemeanor, and summary. Summary offenses are usually equal to a traffic ticket and have no separate grades. Both felony and misdemeanor categories have grades, 1-3 with 1 being the most serious.

11/03/2016

What is constructive fraud? This is an unintentional deception – or even an unintentional misrepresentation – that causes injury to another person. While constructive fraud is still considered a criminal offense, it does not carry penalties as severe as other types of fraud.

11/01/2016

An arraignment refers to the preceding in which the defendant is brought before the court and informed of the charges against him or her and asked to plead either guilty or not guilty. It is important to have a lawyer present with you.

10/27/2016

Did you know that there are laws in the United States which protect people from unreasonable search and seizure of their person, property, and DNA? Remember that you have the right to refuse search and seizure requests when a warrant has not been issued.

10/25/2016

In a criminal trial, due process is the constitutional guarantee that a defendant will receive a fair and impartial trial. Everyone has rights, and a criminal attorney’s primary job is to ensure that those rights are protected.

10/20/2016

Did you know that the attorney-client privilege is one of the oldest privileges recognized by our type of judicial system? In fact, protections to the attorney-client relationship go as far back as the Roman Republic.

10/18/2016

What exactly is expungement? This is a legal procedure which seals arrest records and criminal convictions so that the public cannot access these documents. A private criminal attorney can help with filing for an expungement request.

10/13/2016

When you are facing a criminal case, the attorney you have can either be your best friend or worst enemy. Their experience, careful presentation of the facts, and hard work will be the difference between the two.

10/11/2016

If you find yourself in need of a criminal attorney, there are a few things you should look for. Experience in your local courts is a must- as is a solid legal education and plenty of experience working on criminal cases.

10/06/2016

A common mistake that clients make when charged with a crime is agreeing to a polygraph test in order to try to prove their innocence – but, results of polygraph tests can be manipulated and are often not even admissible in court. Remember, talk with your attorney before consenting to a polygraph.

10/04/2016

A common question about felony trials is how long they take. The length of this trial depends on the nature of the case, but in general a felony case can take between two months and one year to complete.

09/29/2016

Giving a voluntary statement to a detective – without the presence of an attorney – can be just as damaging as providing a voluntary statement to the police or other types of law enforcement agencies without the presence of an attorney. Remember, you have a right to remain silent.

09/27/2016

When meeting with your criminal attorney for the first time, it’s important to bring whatever paperwork you have regarding your case (Bail paperwork, your arrest report, any documents that show your next court date) so that they have the most information possible from the start.

09/22/2016

Many people think that they can represent themselves in a criminal court case. If you are facing a misdemeanor that could result in county jail time, or especially if you are facing a felony charge, hiring a criminal attorney is absolutely necessary.

09/20/2016

Do you know when it is okay for a police officer to search you or your property? They can search your person or property if you provide the officer with the consent to do so, or if the officer presents you with a search warrant. It’s important to note that in emergency situations, they may search you without consent or a warrant.

09/15/2016

Does a person charged with a crime still need a lawyer even when pleading guilty? Absolutely. A criminal lawyer is an enormous and often vital asset to clients who are pleading guilty, especially in terms of the type of sentence a guilty client receives.

09/13/2016

Blue collar crime is generally committed in a place or situation that is familiar and accessible to the offender. It also tends to be more obvious and attracts more police attention than white collar crime. Examples of blue collar crime are shoplifting and vandalism.

09/08/2016

Did you know that the U.S. Constitution offers specific protections for people charged with a crime? Additional federal and state laws also offer protections that will ensure a fair trial – and, one aspect of a criminal attorney’s job is make sure clients are aware of these protections.

09/06/2016

Did you know that people suspected of a crime do not have to voluntarily turn over clothing, handwriting samples, or fingerprints without a warrant? An attorney should be consulted before turning over any of these items to law enforcement agencies.

09/01/2016

Criminal attorneys are here to help you understand the legal process and guide you to make smart, informed decisions about your defense. Your attorney’s job is to defend your rights, plead your case in court, and work closely with the prosecuting attorney.

08/30/2016

If you’ve been arrested for any reason, it’s important to know that you do not need to say anything to the police except that you want an attorney. Law enforcement will not hesitate to use your words or actions against you, and your legal rights need to be protected.

08/25/2016

What is the Ten Day Rule? States that have a Ten Day Rule give persons arrested with a DUI 10 days from the date of their arrest to challenge a driver’s license suspension. A private attorney can assist during this challenge for a temporary license issuance.

08/23/2016

The crime of public intoxication is a misdemeanor that is charged when someone is visibly drunk or under the influence of drugs in a public place. Known in some jurisdictions as drunk and disorderly, the crime is intended to keep the intoxicated person from disturbing the public.

08/18/2016

Although many people think that they may be able to handle an arraignment without their attorney present, it is actually very helpful to have a criminal lawyer there defending you. This attorney may be able to lower your bail or even negotiate to have you released on your own recognizance without putting up any money.

08/16/2016

You should never agree to any type of questioning without your attorney present. You can count on your attorney to provide you with the support and knowledge that you need during an obviously difficult time.

08/11/2016

Is it really necessary for people to hire an attorney as soon as they are suspected – and not charged – of a crime? Absolutely. As soon as an issue of suspect arises, it is essential that an attorney is on hand immediately to help clients navigate contact with police, detectives, and law enforcement agencies.

08/09/2016

While it can be difficult to share intimate personal details with an attorney, an attorney cannot provide the highest level of representation without knowing all the facts. It is vital that clients charged with a criminal offense be honest and open with their attorneys.

08/04/2016

Perjury, which is lying other oath, can cause a miscarriage of justice to occur. For this reason, it is considered a very serious crime. If the false statement directly affects the results of the case or causes an unjust decision to be made, the person can be charged with perjury.

08/02/2016

A legal case is no easy process. Every decision is one that can affect later decisions- and often those decisions are unable to be taken back if they are incorrect. This is why it is vital that an attorney be part of your team in a criminal case.

07/28/2016

There’s never a good time to have to call a criminal attorney- but when you find yourself needing one, it is important that your attorney have experience handling the type of case you are involved in. It’s also important that they have a caring, efficient staff.
