FAQ  FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

  Q:  Am I going to Jail?
A:  I do not know.  It depends on the type of offense, your prior criminal history, the victims' desires and most of all what type of evidence they have against you.  I will do everything in my power to keep you out of jail.

Q:  I have been arrested and charged with a crime, what do I do now?
A:  Hire an attorney immediately.  An attorney can assist you in getting out of jail, obtain evidence that might otherwise be destroyed after time and begin to work on your defense.  Having an attorney during the early stages can be invaluable come trial time.

Q:  How much does an attorney cost?
A:  There are too many factors to answer that honestly at this point, but I do offer payment plans.

Q:  How do I dress and act in the Courtroom?
A:  Dress like you are going to church.  Other than trial, there is no need to wear a suit.  If you are asked a question, answer yes sir or no sir, yes ma'am or no ma'am.

Q:  What happens to my family if I go to Jail?
A:  I can assist you and your family in making sure they are taken care of during your time in jail if that becomes necessary.

Q:  What if the officer mistreated me?
A:  First thing you need to do is file a complaint with the arresting officer's agency.

Q:  What if I have information about other people committing crimes?
A:  If you are willing to share that information with Law Enforcement you could potentially get a reduction or dismissal of the charges against you.  It all depends on what you are charged with and what information you can provide.
