If you or a family member has been arrested, your first thought may be that you need to hire an attorney.  And most people would agree that representing yourself is a very risky idea.  

 

There are many considerations after you've been arrested:

 

Is the case against me strong?

Do I have the legal knowledge and experience to make that determination? 

What can an attorney do for me?

Can I afford an attorney?

Are there any guarantees when hiring a private attorney versus a public defender?

Have my rights been violated?

 

You should ask these questions of any attorney you interview.  Please take a look at our blogposts in the coming days to see if we can answer some of your most common questions.
