How Can a Frankfort Criminal Defense Lawyer Help Me?

An experienced criminal defense attorney can assist with every stage of your case, including:

• Interrogations: Your lawyer can accompany you to any police interviews and take the lead so that you don’t say or do anything that could incriminate you. If there is information to share with the police, your lawyer can funnel this information in a way that protects your well–being.
• Lineups: Having a lawyer present during any lineups could prevent biases from resulting in an unfair identification and that any inconsistencies or delays in identification are noted for the record.
• Searches: Law enforcement may try to search you, your phone, your vehicle, or yourhome to try to find evidence against you. A lawyer can prevent law enforcement from conducting illegal searches or challenge them after the fact.
• Arrest: If you are to be arrested, your lawyer can negotiate how you will turn yourself in so the arrest has a minimal impact on your work or reputation.
• Bail hearing: Your lawyer will work quickly to have you released on your own recognizance or with a reasonable bond.
• Motion filings: Your lawyer may be able to file legal motions if your constitutional rights were violated to suppress evidence, have charges against you dismissed, or for other relief requested.
• Plea negotiations: Your lawyer may try to negotiate for you to receive alternative sentencing to avoid having to go to trial and have a criminal conviction that hampers your future.
• Trial: If you go to trial, you need an experienced trial lawyer who knows how to effectively challenge biased jurors, cross–examine state witnesses, and cast doubt on the prosecution’s evidence against you.

Knowing that you have a trusted legal advocate on your side at all times can help provide you with valuable peace of mind.
