Questions
-
What Are My Rights After An Arrest?
Answer
If you have been arrested, you have two constitutional rights. First you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can be used against you as elicit, incriminating evidence in court. Second, you have the right to an attorney. It is imperative that you secure the assistance of a legal professional to ensure your rights, freedom and future and properly represented and zealously defended.
-
How Are Felonies & Misdemeanors Different?
Answer
Misdemeanor crimes are often considered lesser offenses than felonies in the criminal justice system. Felony charges are punishable by one or more years in prison. Misdemeanor charges are punishable by a prison sentence no longer than one year. Regardless of the type of criminal charge you are facing, you need to hire an attorney to ensure your rights are properly represented in a court of law.
-
Will I Be Required To Register As A Sex Offender?
Answer
If you are charged with capital, life or any other degree of felony, you will be required to register as a sex offender. In addition, if the offense was committed against a minor, you will be required to register. Sex offender registration will restrict your opportunities, limiting where you can live, work and travel. When your liberty is on the line, you need proven defense.
