Criminal Law Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if I'm arrested?

    You have the right to remain silent and the right to speak with an attorney before any questions are asked of you. EXERCISE THIS RIGHT.

  • When should I get an attorney?

    You should call an attorney as soon as possible and before any statements are given or before you speak to anyone about the details of your case, including your own family.

  • What is the best advice you can give to someone who has just been arrested and is in custody?

    Do not speak to ANYONE about your case unless it is your attorney. Calls, messages, and any other form of communication within the jail is monitored and reviewed regularly. Also keep in mind that it is perfectly legal for officers to place confidential informants within the jail to gather evidence and information about your case. This happens more often than you might think and can be key to developing a case against you. You can’t quote silence.

  • What is the difference between a public defender and a private attorney and is there any benefit to hiring a private attorney?

    A public defender is an employee of the State that is assigned cases for individuals who are found to be indigent. This means they handle cases for those without the financial means to hire a private attorney. A private attorney is chosen and paid for by the client. Some benefits to hiring a private attorney are that a private attorney generally has less cases they are handling at one time than a public defender allowing your case to have more personal attention than can be afforded through the PD’s office. You also get to choose your private attorney instead of an attorney being assigned to you. This allows you to communicate more freely and ensures your attorney aligns with your needs and desires of how to handle your case.
