Straight Talk From Your Attorney

Questions About Your Case?

Get straightforward answers to some of the questions clients ask most often about criminal charges, DUI, court appearances, and working with a defense attorney.

Remain calm and avoid discussing the facts of your case with law enforcement until you have spoken with an attorney. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. What you say after an arrest can potentially be used as evidence, so contacting a criminal defense lawyer as early as possible can be very important.

Be cautious about giving a statement without first speaking with an attorney. Even when you believe an explanation will clear things up, statements may be misunderstood, taken out of context, or used during an investigation. You may politely exercise your right to remain silent and request an attorney.

No. An arrest is not a conviction. The prosecution must decide whether charges will be filed and must prove the allegations according to the applicable legal standard. Depending on the circumstances, a defense attorney may challenge evidence, police procedures, witness testimony, searches, statements, or other aspects of the case.

A California DUI may involve both a criminal court case and a separate driver's license matter through the DMV. Because important deadlines may begin immediately, contacting a DUI attorney promptly is recommended.

Sometimes. Whether dismissal is possible depends on the facts, available evidence, constitutional issues, witnesses, police conduct, and other circumstances. In some cases charges may be reduced, dismissed, or resolved through another disposition. No attorney can ethically guarantee a particular outcome.

Do not ignore it. Depending on the circumstances, an attorney may be able to determine why the warrant was issued and help develop a strategy for addressing it. Warrants may involve a new case, a missed court appearance, or an alleged probation violation.

Missing court may lead to a bench warrant or other consequences. Contact an attorney promptly. Available options depend on why the appearance was missed, the underlying charge, and the current status of the case.

As early as possible. Early involvement may provide additional time to preserve evidence, investigate witnesses, review reports, address deadlines, communicate with prosecutors when appropriate, and prepare a defense strategy.

These answers provide general information only and are not legal advice. Every case is different — speak directly with an attorney about your specific circumstances.
