Arrested or Approached by Law Enforcement? I am an experienced Criminal Defense Attorney here in Tampa Bay who has spent over ten years DEFENDING people accused of criminal activity. My philosophy is simple, Fight To Win. You are probably nervous and unsure of what to expect. You have a lot of questions about your situation, everyone always does. Questions such as what is going to happen next, what is the process, will I be sentenced to jail or prison, how will a conviction effect my life, what should I do to help myself, what are the collateral consequences if I am convicted? Part of the scariest part of being charged or arrested is not knowing the process and what to expect in court. Below this article, and also under the State Criminal Defense menu, is an article called, "Now what". this is an excellent article to read in that it lays out in simple terms what to expect in court and as your case progresses through the criminal justice machine. |
