Criminal Defense FAQs
The law firm of Evans Bulloch Parker PLLC can provide comprehensive answers to complex questions. Here are some commonly asked questions that our attorneys can help answer:
What should I do if I’m arrested or charged with a crime?
The most important actions you can take immediately after being arrested and charged with a crime is to verbally assert your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and ask to speak with an attorney. That requires the authorities to immediately stop any interrogation that could cause you to make self-incriminating statements until you have legal representation by your side. An experienced criminal defense attorney can educate you on your rights, represent you during court, and help reduce or dismiss serious criminal charges.
What’s the difference in punishment between a misdemeanor and a felony?
The difference between a misdemeanor and a felony is that felony charges generally have greater punishments than misdemeanors. In general, misdemeanors include minimal jail time (a year or less) and fines, while felony charges can produce massive fines and lead to decades behind bars in prison, plus the loss of certain civil rights even after you are released.
The type of charge you may face can depend on several details in your criminal case, such as whether or not weapons were involved, whether anybody was injured, the nature of the victim (such as when they are a peace officer, disabled or elderly) and your prior criminal history.
What’s the process for a criminal case in Tennessee?
The process for a criminal case typically involves several steps, including arraignment, trial and sentencing. You have the right to legal representation at any point – and should request an attorney right away. Our attorneys can represent you at every step of your case.
Can I get my charges reduced or dismissed?
Yes, it is sometimes possible to reduce the charges you face and even have a case dismissed before it goes to trial. Our attorneys can help you explore your defense options and either negotiate with the prosecution for a more favorable set of charges as part of a plea agreement or assert a positive defense in court, such as self-defense, coercion or more. It all depends upon the unique circumstances of your case.
When should I contact a criminal defense attorney?
You should contact a criminal defense attorney as soon as you are suspected of or arrested for a crime. There is no such thing as “too soon” to contact a law firm.
