Q. What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?
A. Through our efforts to assist and serve clients, we have been asked thousands of questions from individuals in need of information. The Question and Answer section of our website is dedicated to both presenting answers to commonly asked questions and dispelling common misinformation.
Please search the commonly asked questions below. If you question is not listed please email us and we will assist you if we can.
This section of our website is not intended for legal advice. Statements are not intended to be a correct statement of law in your jurisdiction. This statement is intended to give you a very general understanding of what is involved in the referenced issue. Please consult an attorney to find out what laws apply in your specific jurisdiction.
QUESTION: I just got arrested for a DUI, what next?
ANSWER: Do not make any statements while in custody. Courts have ruled that laws imposing penalties for refusing a blood or breath test are constitutional. Hire an attorney you trust and let your attorney know about any issues that might be relevant, including conditions that influenced the arrest. If you were driving with anyone, let your attorney know whom you were with. Show up to every court date unless your attorney tells you otherwise.
QUESTION: I just got charged with a Hit and Run - what are my legal options?
ANSWER: After being charged, your first court date will likely be the arraignment day. On that day you will be formally charged and then asked to enter a plea. Once a plea of not guilty is entered, the discovery phase of the case is started, which includes any investigation on the case. This part of the case could take some time, depending on the complexity of the charge. Also, during this phase, many pre-trial motions are filed. Once discovery, investigation and pretrial motions are completed, the defense will file an answer and the case is set down for trial. At anytime during this period, negotiations may take place between the prosecutor and the defense attorney.
QUESTION: How do I get my police records/court records (and the like)?
ANSWER: Most police records are considered discoverable material for your attorney. An attorney can use the power of the subpoena and the pre-trial discovery stages to get such information. The court file is of public record and can be obtained by anyone in the general public. The court file does not necessarily have everything that a defense attorney would want in preparation for a jury trial.
If you are not charged with a crime or are just curious about seeing your criminal record, you may be able to order a copy of your criminal record from the department of justice. Be wary of private search firms that often provide this service, the only official record is the record maintained by the State.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. From our success Stories:
Our client was at home with his father and some friends. After hearing some nearby noise and seeing flashlights, our client and his father stepped outside to see what was going on. Apparently, the police had been called to the area for a suspected DUI at a nearby park, but upon arrival supposedly saw someone jump a fence and throw a rock that hit one of the officers. Our client was beaten by the police and arrested for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting arrest; however, his father heard one of the officers say, "We got the wrong guy." After the attorney made light of the situation and errors made by the police, the case was dismissed.
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. From our success stories:
Indiana: Client charged with public intoxication while sitting in his vehicle CASE DISMISSED
Our client was out drinking with some friends and business associates. He walked into a bar in a shopping mall, but the bartender told him he was already drunk, thus refusing to serve him and asking him to leave. Our client cooperated, left the bar, and went outside to call his girlfriend to come pick him up. Our client walked to his car to wait for his girlfriend, where he fell asleep with his keys in his lap. Apparently, the bartender that asked out client to leave called the Police, and officers found our client asleep inside of his vehicle. Police woke him up, and then proceeded to charge him with Public Intoxication. Our attorney was able to argue that our client was waiting for his girlfriend to pick him up in the privacy of his own car, and the case against out client was dismissed.
