When Should You Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?
You should hire a criminal defense attorney immediately! Ideally, it would be helpful to have an attorney present at the time of the arrest. Although this is may not be practical, you should try to speak to an attorney as soon as you can from being released after the arrest.
Here are several benefits for seeking professional help from Oakland criminal defense lawyers:
- A criminal defense attorney can provide advice and guidance on navigating the legal process.
- They help to ensure that individuals have access to an experienced legal representative who will fight for their rights in court.
- The lawyer can investigate the facts of the case, challenge evidence presented by prosecutors, and negotiate with them on behalf of the defendant.
- They may be able to get charges reduced or dismissed altogether through a plea agreement, if there are grounds for doing so.
- An attorney is also important when it comes to understanding how plea deals work and ensuring a fair outcome in court proceedings.
- Having a qualified legal professional representing you gives you a better chance of getting a favorable result from your case.
