    two attorneys are discussing something
    What Should I Do If I’ve Been Charged With A Crime?

    You have the constitutional right to remain silent. Do not try to explain anything to the police. You must not allow an interrogation to be conducted without having your attorney present. Anything that you say to the police could be twisted or misinterpreted and used against you. Be polite, but insist on your right to remain silent and your right to legal counsel. Do not – and this is important – do not negotiate with a prosecutor, enter a guilty plea, or accept any plea arrangement before you’re able to speak with an award-winning investigator turned criminal defense attorney that you can trust. You must take a criminal charge seriously and seek a reliable defense attorney’s advice and representation at once.

    Do I Really Need To Have A Criminal Defense Attorney Represent Me?

    If a criminal charge is brought against you, you will need a lawyer who can immediately launch an investigation of your case, gather and examine the evidence on your behalf, interrogate the witnesses, and develop an effective, aggressive defense strategy. The days when you could effectively represent yourself are gone. Criminal law is complicated, technical, and often difficult to understand. Attorney Seth C. Weston knows the law and how the system works, and he knows what it takes to bring your case to its best possible conclusion. If you are convicted of a crime, you may face steep fines, jail or prison time, and additional penalties. You’ll also have a criminal record that will follow you for a number of years. Do not make the mistake of trying to be your own lawyer. A good defense attorney’s help is your right.

    Often There Is A Flaw Or Weakness In My Case, How Can A Top Defense Law Firm Help Me?

    Do not presume that you will be convicted. There is almost always a flaw or weakness in the state’s case against a defendant. A good criminal defense lawyer will find that flaw or weakness and take advantage of it as part of your defense strategy. If the police violated your rights at any point during an investigation, a search, an arrest, or an interrogation, your attorney may in some cases be able to have the charge entirely dismissed. If that’s not possible, and you believe that you are innocent, you have the right to a trial by jury. In some cases, if the state’s evidence against you is strong and persuasive, your attorney may suggest – and negotiate for – an acceptable plea arrangement. If there is no way that you can avoid a criminal conviction, your lawyer will still work for reduced or alternative sentencing.
