FAQ
If arrested, it is crucial to remain calm and assert your right to remain silent. Do not answer any questions without an attorney present. Contact a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible to guide you through the legal process.
Misdemeanors are less severe crimes with generally lighter penalties, such as fines or a short jail sentence (up to 1 year). Felonies are more serious offenses and carry harsher consequences, including longer prison sentences (between 1 year and life) and the potential loss of certain rights.
Plea bargaining involves negotiating with the prosecution to reach a mutually agreeable resolution, often involving a lesser charge or reduced sentence. Whether to consider plea bargaining depends on the specific circumstances of your case and should be discussed with your attorney.
Evidence plays a crucial role in criminal defense. It can include witness testimonies, documents, forensic evidence, and more. A skilled defense attorney will analyze the evidence, challenge its admissibility, and present counterarguments to strengthen the defense.
Expungement involves erasing or sealing a criminal record, providing a fresh start for individuals who qualify. A pardon, on the other hand, is an official forgiveness of a crime granted by a government authority, typically the governor or president, but it does not remove the record.
Unfortunately, yes. Law enforcement and the legal system are not infallible, and innocent individuals can be wrongly accused. A robust criminal defense is essential to prove innocence and protect the rights of the accused.
Estate planning is the process of arranging for the management and distribution of a person’s assets during their lifetime and after death. It involves creating legal documents to ensure that one’s wishes are carried out regarding financial affairs, healthcare decisions, and the distribution of assets.
Common estate planning documents include a will, living trust, durable power of attorney, healthcare proxy or medical power of attorney, and a living will. These documents cover various aspects of financial and healthcare decision-making.
A will is a legal document that outlines how a person’s assets should be distributed after their death. A living trust, on the other hand, is a legal entity created to hold and manage assets during a person’s lifetime and distribute them according to specified terms after death, often avoiding probate.
Yes, everyone, regardless of the size of their estate, can benefit from an estate plan. It ensures that your wishes are followed, designates guardians for minor children, and simplifies the distribution of assets, among other benefits.
A durable power of attorney is a legal document that grants someone the authority to make financial decisions on behalf of another person, even if that person becomes incapacitated. It helps ensure that someone can manage your financial affairs if you are unable to do so.
If you die without an estate plan, your assets will be distributed according to the laws of intestacy in your jurisdiction. This may not align with your wishes, and the process may be more complicated for your loved ones. Estate planning allows you to control how your assets are distributed and provide for your family in the way you desire.
