FAQ

Common Questions

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney before questioning. Use both. Politely decline to answer questions without an attorney present, then call us.
Misdemeanors carry up to 12 months in jail and fines. Felonies carry more than 12 months and can affect your voting rights, your ability to own a firearm, and your employment for years after the case is closed. The distinction matters, and in some situations the charge classification can be negotiated.
We can appear at a bond hearing and argue for a reduction or for release on your own recognizance. Get us involved as soon as possible.
Most don’t. Many criminal cases are resolved through negotiation, reduced charges, or diversion programs depending on the circumstances. We’ll tell you what we think is realistic and let you decide how you want to proceed.
