Traffic Ticket | Client Testimonial

“So my situation was very serious. The day of the incident I had been diagnosed with the flu the day before and I was running a fever and wasn't feeling very well. And unfortunately I'd made a poor decision. I was accused of a DUI, but it got knocked down to reckless driving. When I first found out what I was accused of I was very scared.

FAQs About Criminal Defense Lawyers

What Should I Do After Being Arrested In Arizona?

If you are accused and arrested for a crime, it is very important that you do not say anything without a lawyer present. This is your right. Do not say anything, even if you want to explain yourself after a false accusation. Everything you say can be used against you in court and what you think is innocent, could be used to charge you. Your lawyer will coach you through everything to make sure you can walk away with the best outcome possible.

How Long Does A Criminal Case Take To Resolve?

The length of time a criminal case takes to resolve depends on each individual situation. For complex cases, especially ones that require complex defenses, it can take much longer. If you and your lawyer opt to negotiate a plea deal, your case could be resolved without even having to go to trial. For an in-depth understanding on how long your case will take, reach out to one of our lawyers who will walk through and explain every detail so you can move forward with confidence during this challenging time.

Do I Need A Criminal Defense Attorney If I Have Been Falsely Accused?

Absolutely. One might hope that justice would be served and those that are falsely accused would remain innocent until found guilty. However, that is not always the case and it can be all too easy to be wrongly charged for something you did not do. This happens if you say something you think is innocent, but is used against you, or with powerful prosecution and a lack of legal expertise to back you up. Make sure you have a lawyer on your side who is protecting your rights every step of the way so you do not face penalties for something you did not do.

How Much Does A Criminal Defense Lawyer Cost?

Hiring a criminal defense lawyer can cost varying amounts based on your specific circumstances, the complexity of your case, and what help you are looking at acquiring. Generally, the more complex the case, the higher the cost. However, at Brandon White, we want to make sure everyone has a fair chance at getting the best legal expertise on their side as possible. Because of this, we have put together payment plans and other helpful resources to make sure you are able to afford the legal help you truly need.

What Is The Difference Between Misdemeanor & Felony Charges?

Misdemeanor charges tend to be lesser charges. They still go on a criminal record, but carry with them lesser jail time, lower fines, and other lower penalties. Misdemeanors are given to those who break the law, but it wasn’t as serious. Felonies on the other hand are very serious. They can be arranged in different classes and come with significant penalties like prison time, hefty fines, and more. Whether you’re facing a misdemeanor or a felony, our lawyers are prepared to fight for your rights and freedoms.

Can A Criminal Defense Lawyer Help Reduce My Charges?

Yes, a criminal defense lawyer can certainly help reduce your charges. Once you are accused, reach out to one of our skilled lawyers at Brandon White. They will assess your situation and will come up with the best strategy moving forward. Sometimes a strong defense can help reduce charges such as a violation of rights or false accusation. In other situations we might negotiate a plea deal which exchanges your plea of guilty for reduced penalties and charges. In any case, our goal is to work towards the best possible outcome in your case and with our track record, you can rely on us.
