FAQs About Criminal Defense
Facing criminal charges brings a lot of questions. Here are a few we hear most often from people seeking legal help.
Should I talk to the police before hiring a lawyer?
No. You have the right to remain silent and request an attorney. Even if you believe you're helping yourself by explaining, statements can be misunderstood or used against you. We advise clients to protect their rights by speaking with a lawyer first—always.
What happens after I am arrested?
After an arrest, you’ll be processed (booked), possibly arraigned, and given future court dates. Early legal representation is key to preserving defenses and exploring options like case dismissal, diversion, or negotiation. We guide you through each phase clearly.
Will I have to go to trial?
Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or pretrial diversion programs. However, we prepare every case for the possibility of trial. If trial becomes necessary, we’ll advocate aggressively in court for your rights and your future.
What are possible penalties if convicted?
Penalties vary based on the charge and your criminal history. They can include fines, probation, jail time, license suspension, and more. We work hard to minimize or avoid consequences through skilled defense, negotiation, or mitigation.
Can a criminal record be cleared later?
In some cases, yes. Connecticut allows for expungement (erasure) of certain criminal records after enough time has passed or if charges were dismissed. We’ll review your case and explain whether expungement may be an option down the road.
