Carefully Assessing Your Options Moving Forward
Sometimes it is best to try to work out a deal with the prosecutor, and sometimes it is best to take your case to trial. It all depends on the nature and circumstances of your charge.
Some things we will help you consider when deciding whether to take your case to trial include:
- Whether the prosecutor is allowed to admit certain evidence into your trial
- Whether witnesses may change their stories or forget how the incident happened altogether
- Whether the State lost or improperly held physical evidence
- Whether you have an alibi or defense
- Whether you made any admissions to police
- Whether the State can prove all of the elements of the crime
At the end of the day, you never know what a jury will decide, but our attorney can give you a pretty good idea of how your case will likely turn out if it goes to trial. Ultimately, the decision to go to trial is up to you. At Feld Law Firm, we always tell our clients what they should hear, not what they want to hear. We firmly believe that each client should be informed of a realistic outcome from the outset of their case so that we can properly prepare and attack the case. When all is said and done, our goal is to get you a fair and favorable result that you are satisfied with.
Understanding the Criminal Defense Process
At Feld Law Firm, we understand that facing criminal charges can be a daunting experience. That’s why we’re committed to empowering our clients with knowledge about the criminal defense process. Understanding your rights and the steps involved can significantly impact the outcome of your case.
The criminal defense process generally follows these key stages:
- Arrest: This is when law enforcement takes you into custody. Remember, you have the right to remain silent and to request an attorney.
- Charges: After an arrest, the prosecutor will determine which charges to file. Our team will work tirelessly to review these charges and advise you on the best course of action.
- Arraignment: This is your first court appearance, where you’ll enter a plea. We’ll be there to help you understand your options and craft a defense strategy.
- Pre-trial: Before your case goes to trial, there may be hearings and negotiations. We’ll advocate for you every step of the way, seeking the best possible resolution.
- Trial: If necessary, we will prepare a robust defense and represent you in court, ensuring that your side is presented clearly and effectively.
