Frequently Asked Questions about Criminal Defense Law

Q: Do I need a lawyer's help if I am accused of a crime?

A: It is always in your best interest to consult a criminal defense lawyer as early as possible if you suspect you will be facing the criminal justice system. Whether or not you believe you have been wrongfully accused, an attorney will fight for your legal and constitutional rights and monitor the proceedings for legality and fairness. If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible for free legal counsel.

 

Q: What is the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor?

A: The traditional definition of a felony is a crime that is punishable by imprisonment of more than one year. A misdemeanor is a crime that is punishable by imprisonment of one year or less. Felonies are more serious crimes than misdemeanors.
