Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a lawyer for a first-time misdemeanor charge?

Even a first-time misdemeanor can affect your record, employment, and future opportunities. Speaking with a defense attorney before your court date helps you understand your options.

What happens at my first court appearance?

Your first appearance is typically an arraignment, where charges are read and a plea may be entered. Having an attorney with you from this stage helps protect your rights early in the process.

Will my case go to trial?

Many criminal cases resolve through negotiation before trial, but every case is different. We prepare each case as though it may go to trial while pursuing the best available resolution.
