As your defense counsel, our firm’s advice is straightforward – you should only talk to the police with your attorney present. Any statement can be used against you in court, however innocuous it may seem. We serve as the bridge between you and the investigators, ensuring your rights are not compromised.
The criminal procedure includes arrest, booking, arraignment, bail, preliminary hearing, trial, sentencing, probation, and, potentially, an appeal.
Bail guarantees that you’ll attend future court appearances; it allows for your conditional release from custody after an arrest. A judge determines bail amounts during the arraignment and often requires the assistance of bail bond companies to post bail. These companies typically charge a premium (usually 10 percent) for their service. If you fail to appear in court as promised, the bail bond company may employ a bounty hunter to locate you. Understanding the Texas bail process and its intricacies is another area where the counsel of a seasoned criminal defense attorney becomes invaluable.
An arraignment is an initial court appearance, during which a defendant is formally charged and must enter a plea. At this stage, the counsel of a skilled attorney is important. A defense attorney will take the lead during this critical step, helping to present a response that upholds a strong legal position.
