What Is the Criminal Defense case process?
Facing a criminal defense case can be frightening and confusing if it's your first time. Knowing what to expect helps you feel more ready. Here are the main steps:
- Arrest
- Arraignment
- Pre-trial motions
- Please negotiations
- Trial
- Sentencing hearing
- Appeal
Not all cases go to trial; many are resolved through plea negotiations. Our skilled attorney can negotiate a favorable plea deal for you. If a plea deal isn't best, we're prepared to advocate for you in court. Read more on our Criminal Defense page.
