If this is the first time dealing with the criminal legal system, you may be a bit overwhelmed. After an arrest and getting bailed out, you may have a lot of questions as to what happens next. Will you go back to jail? How long will my trial take? And of course, do I need an attorney?
The first thing you should do is definitely hire a criminal defense attorney. A lawyer will walk through the system and can even lessen the charges against you or get them thrown out entirely.
Hiring a Criminal Defense Attorney
Criminal defense lawyers have been properly trained to defend people who have been accused of crimes. They will advise you through the legal process, make sure your rights aren’t violated, and will work hard to make sure you’re cleared of the charges or the charges are lowered.
The best time to hire a criminal defense attorney is the second you’ve been charged with a crime. If you were arrested before you have a chance to talk with an attorney, you should hire a lawyer before your arraignment. During this time, a lawyer will investigate the charges and try to get you free. A lawyer can even argue on your behalf to get a smaller bail amount!
A criminal defense attorney can be costly; however, if you can’t afford an attorney and are facing serious charges, you do have the legal right to have a criminal attorney provided to you free of charge.
