Commonly Asked Questions
As Joe stands up for his clients through their criminal defense cases, he also supports them by answering their questions. With over 30 years of experience practicing criminal defense law, Joe can shed light on questions like:
Should I talk to the police about my case?
During your arrest and immediately afterward, police officers may interrogate you about the case. You should never speak to an officer about the details of your case without having a lawyer present. Your attorney can help keep you from providing information that can harm your case and also defend your rights in these conversations.
What should I do after an arrest?
If you are facing criminal charges, whether you believe the charges are unjust or not, do not fight with the officers involved in your case. Fighting back by arguing or physically resisting can result in you facing additional charges and worsening your odds of overcoming your case. Instead, let your lawyer do the fighting through negotiation and litigation.
Should I accept a plea deal?
You may think a plea deal is the best option you have in your case. The truth is that there are many cases where officers will offer a plea deal to coerce a confession out of you when they really did not have a case against you in the first place. Never accept any kind of offer without consulting with your attorney. Your legal representation can either negotiate for a better deal or prove your innocence and avoid the need for a deal altogether.
