The Legal Process for Miscellaneous Crime Cases
Navigating the complex legal process for miscellaneous crime cases can be a daunting prospect. Thankfully, you don’t have to experience it alone. The attorneys at The Valley Law Group strive to keep our clients informed regarding what to expect during the legal proceedings for their miscellaneous crime cases.
We offer these tips on how to handle each step in order to pursue a positive outcome:
Arrest and Booking
Once you are arrested on miscellaneous crime charges, you will be brought to the local police station and formally booked into the system. This process typically involves providing certain personal information, photographing, and the processing of your fingerprints. During this time, it is important that you remain calm and cooperative but do not make any statements of guilt or fault until your lawyer arrives and can counsel you.
Arraignment
Once you are booked, you will be formally charged at an arraignment hearing. At this time, you will be asked to enter a plea of either guilty, not guilty, or no contest. It is of the utmost importance that your attorney is present at this hearing so that they can counsel you regarding what plea is best to enter at this point in the legal process.
Proceedings Pre-Trial
After your arraignment concludes, your attorney will begin working on pre-trial business. This typically includes meeting with the prosecution, exchanging evidence, and filing motions for your case. It is imperative that you stay in contact with your attorney during this time and supply them with any information they may ask you to provide.
Plea Bargaining
Your attorney may be able to request a reduction of the charges brought against you, seek a dismissal, or pursue alternative methods to sentencing while negotiating with the courts and the prosecution. At this time, it is vital that you trust the judgment of your attorney as they work with your best interests in mind.
Trial
If your case moves to trial, your attorney will be there at your side, ready to make an argument for your defense. Once both sides have presented their cases and evidence, the judge and/or jury will decide on a verdict. The best thing you can do in this step of the process is to trust your lawyer and the fact that they have provided a comprehensive defense in your interest.
Sentencing
Once a verdict has been reached, the judge will hand down the sentence. This sentence could include jail time, probation, or fines. Whatever the sentence is, it is wise for you to cooperate and act with remorse, as both of these actions can help you should you seek an appeal or expungement of your record in the future.
Post-Conviction
Your legal care and counsel do not end when the trial does. At The Valley Law Group, we are committed to helping you rebuild your life following a conviction. Keep in contact with your attorney at this time so that they may be able to assist you should you seek an appeal.
