Contact the attorney directly to discuss your specific matter before retaining.

Should I speak to police without a criminal defense attorney present?

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney before and during questioning. Exercising those rights — and consulting a defense attorney before making any statement — is strongly advisable regardless of whether you believe you are guilty. Statements made to police can be used against you and are difficult to walk back.

What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony?

Generally, misdemeanors carry lesser penalties (typically up to one year in jail and fines), while felonies can result in state or federal prison sentences and long-term consequences such as loss of voting rights and professional licensing restrictions. The exact classification depends on the jurisdiction and the specific offense charged.

How does a criminal defense attorney help even if the evidence looks bad?

Defense attorneys examine how evidence was gathered (to identify constitutional violations), challenge witness credibility, negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges or alternative sentencing, and ensure the legal process is followed correctly. A strong defense can affect whether charges are dismissed, reduced, or taken to trial, and what sentence is ultimately imposed.
