Frequently Asked Questions

How are federal cases different from state cases?

Federal cases are usually investigated longer, use sentencing guidelines and have different rules. Look for a lawyer admitted to federal court.

Can a federal lawyer help before charges are filed?

Yes — early representation during an investigation can make a big difference.

Should I talk to the police before I have a lawyer?

You have the right to stay silent and to ask for a lawyer. Politely say you want to speak with an attorney before answering questions.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense lawyer in Fate?

As soon as you're charged or know you're being investigated. Early help can affect bail, evidence and whether charges are filed at all.

Can a criminal charge be dismissed?

Sometimes — for weak evidence, an illegal stop or search, or through programs like pretrial diversion. A local defense lawyer can tell you what's realistic for your case.
