Our legal team is available any time when you get into trouble. We can provide answers to your key concerns including:
After an arrest in Alchua County, you may be taken into custody and booked in the local police station. This means fingerprinting and having your mugshot taken. You will be arraigned, and you will have the chance to argue for release on your own recognizance or release on bail. You should have a lawyer at your arraignment to help you try and convince the judge to let you out of jail without a large bond. If you do not get bail, you’d have to stay in jail pending the trial and outcome of your case. Your attorney will also help you decide whether to plead guilty or not guilty.
After arraignment, the pre-trial process will begin. You’ll learn about the evidence the prosecutor has against you and you will be given the opportunity to work on putting together your own case. You can negotiate with the prosecutor to try and get a plea deal during this time if you don’t want to go to court. You can also file appropriate pre-trial motions with the judge, like asking for evidence collected illegally to be thrown out or asking the judge to dismiss the case because there is not enough probable cause of wrongdoing to move forward.
During this process before trial, important work is done to help prepare a legal strategy for responding to charges. Katz & Phillips, P.A. has a strong legal team ready to help you explore defenses, argue for dismissal, negotiate with the prosecutor, and do everything possible to walk away with no conviction.
Options to respond to criminal charges include:
The right option is going to depend upon many different things, including the evidence against you and the kind of charges you are facing.
