Fort Lauderdale criminal defense Lawyer

When someone is in legal problems, the first thing they want is to obtain the finest laywer they can as soon as possible. The second consideration is the expense of a good attorney.

The quick and honest response to the question “How much will this cost?” is… It depends. Many variables can influence the price, including the type of the offence, the number of charges or complainants, the complexity of the case, and if the case necessitates an investigation or the services of specialists.

At the South Florida Trial Lawyers, we recognize that no one plans ahead of time for this unforeseen expense. We work hard to ensure that our costs are reasonable in relation to the circumstances of your case, our quality of assistance to you, and our credentials, experience, and competence.

If you are arrested, you are not obligated to talk to the authorities under the US Constitution or Federal or State laws. You may submit relevant identifying information, but you are not compelled to share any other information. Ideally, you should consult with your attorney as quickly as possible and only speak with police while your attorney is present.

When estimating how long your criminal case will take, several factors come into play. For example, the complexity of the subject, your criminal history, the county in which you were charged, and whether the charge is a misdemeanour or a felony are all factors in deciding how long your criminal case will take.

The length of time depends on the complexity of the situation. A simple misdemeanour case may be handled in a few weeks or months, but a felony case may take many months or more than a year. If the prosecution provides a reasonable plea offer early in the process, or if any requests to exclude evidence are filed. If the matter gets to trial, it will be over much sooner.

If you are suspected of criminal behaviour, a police officer may hold you for a reasonable period of time. If the officer suspects you are carrying a weapon, he or she may conduct a pat-down search. If you are carrying a weapon (regardless of whether or not you are involved in the conduct for which you are being arrested), the officer may take it for your protection. The police will very certainly interrogate you, but you have the freedom to refuse to answer. Remember, if you talk with a law enforcement officer about suspected criminal behaviour, you have the constitutional right to stay quiet as well as the right to have a counsel present with you at all times.

If you are unclear about your legal rights, you should obtain legal counsel. If you have received a court order, complaint, or summons, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible. Do not rely only on the counsel of friends and relatives. An skilled lawyer can ensure that your rights are safeguarded.
