Questions About Criminal Defense

Brandon, Jackson, and Central Mississippi

I have been arrested. Do I need a lawyer?

If you have been arrested and charged with a felony or misdemeanor, you will need a criminal defense attorney. It is rare that anyone successfully represents him/herself in court. With an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side, the chances of getting your charges reduced or dismissed altogether are much greater than not having an attorney at all.

Am I entitled to bond if I'm arrested?

Yes, subject to certain exceptions, everyone is entitled to a reasonable bond. Factors for determining the reasonableness of the bond include length of residence, employment status and financial condition, family ties to the community, reputation and character of accused, prior criminal record, members of the community who would vouch for the accused reliability and nature of the offense.
