What Happens If I’m Charged With a Crime?

Being charged with a crime can be a scary and confusing experience, but a criminal defense attorney can help you through the process. It’s important to talk with an attorney as soon as you are arrested and charged with a crime. You may have to present yourself to the court to get a bond amount set and the next hearing date on the calendar. It’s also important not to answer any questions without your attorney present and to follow any and all instructions from the judge.
