The Adoption Process

When facing a felony, be it your first or another one added to a criminal history you're recovering from, having the right representation can help make things more smooth for you. Felony attorneys work with their clients to ensure they get fair trials, are fully represented, and that all facts are laid before the court and judge during cases and trials.

If you haven't secured a felony attorney yet, now is the time to do so. Here are things felony attorneys can do for you regarding your case.

Help keep other issues from entering your legal one

Whether you have a job to keep, a name in the community to uphold, or custody of your children to protect, you don't need the fact that you have a felony case before you — with or without conviction — to make you feel vulnerable in these areas. Felony attorneys work to keep cases as low-profile as possible so they don't bleed into the personal lives of their clients.

While many cases are public knowledge or recorded publicly, what your felony attorney can do is this: use your otherwise positive standing in the community, such as your involvement with your kids, your steady job, or your role in the community as a whole, to help the judge and jury see you as a responsible citizen who is in in a legal situation, which may help improve your case's outcome overall.

Help expedite your case

Without felony attorneys representing you, you may have a case that goes on for a long time. You want to get sentenced or acquitted as quickly as you can so you can move on with your life. Your felony attorneys can request a speedier trial, negotiate many of the goings-on of your case without a jury trial, and even have parts of your case dismissed as evidence comes up. If your case settles in a plea agreement before a sentence date, you can then move forward with the next part of your case more comfortably.

Help keep you from incriminating yourself

Perhaps the biggest way felony attorneys can help you with your case is this: they can keep you from incriminating yourself. This is where you say or do something that admits fault, even if this isn't your intention. Felony attorneys represent their clients so they can fairly face their opposing prosecuting attorneys without worrying about saying the wrong thing purely by accident.

Felony attorneys can help you understand the importance of your felony case and help you get the representation you need.
