Frequently Asked Questions
What Does a Phoenix Criminal Defense Attorney Do?
This type of attorney provides defense representation to people accused of breaking a criminal law. They usually provide a free consultation to the person in trouble with the law. When they’re hired, the attorney gathers all of the information in the case and all the evidence that others have collected.
Although the attorney’s goal is to defend the person accused of the crime, the primary jobs of the attorney are:
1) Discuss the case with the prosecutor to discover what evidence and witnesses exist that can be damaging to the defendant
2) Fully research the criminal case including getting defense witnesses, preparing for a cross-examination for the prosecutor’s witnesses, and gather any other evidence that exists to help the defense case
3) Make a judgement call on whether a case has enough merit to go to trial and beat or reduce the charges
3a) An experienced attorney in that court will know the judges and how they’ve tended to rule in similar cases
4) Research previous similar cases in the state to provide additional defense ammunition in the case as necessary
5) Take any additional legal steps including researching any possible violations in legal procedure by the authorities
Many times a case won’t go to trial – this usually occurs when a case is settled through a plea agreement. If the case does go to court, the criminal attorney may also enlist expert witnesses to help their case in court. A lawyer from the firm will go to court with the defendant to defend the case, whether they’re in front of a judge only or a full-blown jury trial.
NOTE: in a smaller or boutique law firm, the lawyer that goes to court is also the lawyer you retained. In a large firm, you may be handed off to a junior lawyer – you should always ask about this because you need to know who will actually represent you in court.
What Are Some of the Charges That Criminal Defense Attorneys Help People Defend Against?
Criminal law firms help people accused of violating one or more laws, as the case against them calls for. They defend against drunk driving cases, drug offenses, family matters such as domestic violence charges and child abuse charges, assault charges, theft crimes, sex offenses and prostitution, misdemeanor charges, white collar crimes, other misdemeanors such as shoplifting and traffic offenses and drug offenses such as marijuana, and cocaine. They also help defend other serious felonies such as murder and homicides, charge conspiracies, and burglaries.
When Should I Look for a Criminal Lawyer?
It’s very likely that you’re not familiar with criminal law in Arizona. That’s your defense attorney’s job so do yourself a huge favor – act respectfully and appropriately with the legal authorities and let an experienced and knowledgeable lawyer help you with the legalities of your case.
How Do I Hire a Phoenix Criminal Lawyer?
If you feel comfortable that the lawyer can help you at the end of the consultation and they feel comfortable representing you, you’ll be able to retain them by giving them the requested retainer fee.
What Does it Take For a Criminal Lawyer to Defend Me?
The more complicated a case is, the more time it takes on the attorney’s behalf and therefore it will cost more to go through the procedures to build an effective defense and then go through the actual trial process.
Is Hiring My Own Criminal Lawyer the Best Choice?
1) You represent yourself. Here’s some questions regarding whether you should choose this option: Do you know the law? Do you know courtroom procedure? Do you have a realistic possibility of getting off the charges or lessening the charges? REMEMBER you have only ONE chance at this – there’s no do-overs in court.
2) You use the appointed county defender’s office. More questions to ask: Are they good enough to represent you in your case and achieve your goals? Will they have the time to devote to your case? Will they be responsive to your communications and needs?
3) You hire your own defense lawyer. Why do that? A paid criminal lawyer will generally be experienced, versus being fresh out of law school. A paid defense attorney will make sure they have the time to fully prepare your case to get the best results. Their reputation is what they live on, unlike the county defender.
The paid criminal attorney will also make sure they’re available to you at an earliest opportunity, versus waiting for weeks for that return call or text message from an over-burdened county defender. More questions: Can you afford a paid criminal attorney? In reality, can you afford NOT to hire them?
You have to make up your own mind. But no matter what choice you make, you have to live with that choice for the rest of your life. That by itself should be the most important qualifier in deciding how to defend your case.
Can a Criminal Lawyer Really Get Me Off my Charges?
However, if you really did it and it’s a serious crime, the chances of you getting off the charges are much less likely. However anything is possible. Over the course of time, many people that committed crimes have gotten off the charges on a legal technicality. Therefore that’s definitely something we always ask about and look into.
Will you Take on Juveniles Accused of Crimes or Violated Probation and Missed Counseling Appointments?
We accept people on a case by case basis because there’s a lot of variables involved. If you know a juvenile under 18 that’s in trouble with the law go ahead and call us. Our goal is to always help people avoid further legal consequences.
What's a White-Collar Crime?
Those are typically crimes committed at the place of employment by an employee or even an owner. These crimes can include forgery, credit card fraud, money laundering, and embezzlement,
What Types of Legal Cases Don't You Help With?
