Frequently Asked Questions About Criminal Law
We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment plans. Contact us for a consultation.
Yes! Criminal lawyers can be hired on a limited-scope retainer.
Lawyers can file a designation of counsel (DOC) with the court where they can appear on your behalf. However, you will still need to appear in court for trial and sentencing, for example.
If you are arrested, remain calm and exercise your right to remain silent. Request to speak with a lawyer immediately. Do not provide statements to the police without legal counsel.
You have the right to remain silent, the right to legal representation, and the right to know why you are being arrested or detained. If you are unsure of your rights, contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
The length of a criminal case varies depending on the complexity of the charges, court availability, and legal procedures. Some cases may be resolved quickly, while others can take months or even years. A lawyer can provide a better estimate based on your specific case.
