    Frequently Asked Questions

    Hiring a criminal defense attorney after an arrest for a misdemeanor or felony can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. While it is true that you don’t need to retain a lawyer after an arrest, doing so may mean the difference between going to jail or not! Defendants who choose to represent themselves or allow a public defender to represent them are often unsatisfied with the results.

    Defendants who are convicted of their alleged crimes can face a wide variety of consequences, including jail/prison time, expensive fines and fees, mandatory counseling, restitution payments, community service, and others depending on the crime involved. For example, drivers convicted of DUI may be required to have an interlock ignition device installed on their vehicles. Individuals who are found guilty of domestic violence may be prevented from returning to their homes or having regular contact with their children.

    An arrest for any misdemeanor or felony is very serious. Individuals who are under arrest often try to make excuses or talk their way out of an arrest. This is a big mistake! Remember that prosecutors take criminal offenses very seriously. Be polite but keep your mouth shut and contact an attorney as soon as possible.  Don’t take chances with your freedom and your rights after an arrest – contact Leah Legal today at 818-484-1100 for a free consultation.

    Most public defenders are excellent lawyers with the best of intentions, but they are generally overwhelmed with their caseloads and do not have the time to give each client the attention they deserve. In fact, defendants typically get to speak with their public defender for only a moment or two before each court appearance. What’s more, it’s common for a different public defender to show up every time you appear in court. Your public defender will protect your basic rights but won’t go the extra mile in finding ways to beat your case or get your charges reduced. Furthermore, if you are facing an administrative suspension of your license by the DMV, your public defender cannot provide you with any guidance about how to protect your driving privileges.

    An experienced criminal defense lawyer can often find ways to beat your case that might not be obvious to you. These include defenses of a technical, scientific, or legal nature, which prosecutors will certainly NOT point out for you.  If there’s no way to beat your case or get it dismissed, your criminal defense attorney may be able to get your charges reduced and get you the best possible deal under the circumstances.  Also, your lawyer can appear in court on your behalf and take care of all the necessary paperwork and bureaucratic aspects associated with your case.

    You have several important rights after an arrest. These include the right to remain silent if questioned by law enforcement officials, the right to a phone call, and the right to legal representation.

    At our law firm we maintain a small caseload. We feel that it is crucial to work closely and directly with our clients and to be easily accessible to them in order to assure high quality representation. Personalized attention helps to ease much of the frustration and fear that are an inevitable part of being caught up in the criminal justice system. Our clients remain informed of the legal process and developments in their case and they can expect honest communication at all times.

    In order to develop the strongest and most creative defense possible for any given criminal charges, Leah Legal works closely with a team of skilled and experienced attorneys who specialize in that particular area of criminal law. This means than more often than not our clients have the benefit of more than one legal mind working on their case without having to pay additional fees.

    To learn how we can help you with your felony or misdemeanor criminal charge, contact us online or call our office at (818) 484-1100 at any time – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We offer free initial consultations, accept cash, checks, and credit cards, and are available for weekend/evening appointments.
