Especially if you don't have much experience with the criminal justice system, it can be a mysterious, frightening, and stressful time in your life. One way to dampen all of this anxiety is to
retain an effective attorney as soon as possible. The earlier in the situation, the better, as having counsel gives a person piece of mind that they will be defended properly, that their story will be heard, and they will not be crushed by the power of the State. Also, there are things that can happen during the investigative phase of a
criminal case in which a
defense attorney can make a big difference in the outcome of a situation. Probably the most important of these issues is when law enforcement wants a
suspect to give a statement, but there are others in which an attorney can be very helpful, as in speaking with detectives and prosecutors.
If a situation has become serious enough for you to have a court date, you need an
attorney immediately. If you don't have a competent attorney, and you go to court by yourself; you are asking for trouble.
Competent attorneys have a vast amount of knowledge and experience in dealing with situations similar to yours. Without an effective attorney defending you, things can happen in your case that are very difficult or impossible to undo, and may affect your life in a very negative way.
