Common Questions

Criminal Defense FAQs

What should I do if I'm arrested? +

Exercise your right to remain silent and immediately request an attorney. Do not answer any questions from law enforcement without your lawyer present. Contact Brinson Law Consult as soon as possible — we are available 24/7 and will advise you on exactly what to do.

How soon should I hire a criminal defense attorney? +

Immediately. The moments and hours following an arrest or charge are critical. Evidence can disappear, witnesses' memories fade, and early missteps can seriously damage your defense. The earlier we are involved, the stronger position we can build on your behalf.

Can criminal charges be dropped before going to trial? +

Yes. Charges can be dropped due to insufficient evidence, procedural violations, constitutional breaches, or successful pre-trial negotiations. Our attorneys aggressively pursue every opportunity to have charges reduced or dismissed before the matter reaches a courtroom.

What if I cannot afford bail? +

We will immediately file a bail application and argue for reasonable conditions before the court. Our attorneys are experienced in bail hearings and will do everything possible to secure your release while your case is pending.

Will my case go to trial? +

Many criminal cases are resolved before trial through negotiations, dismissals, or plea arrangements. However, if going to trial gives you the best chance of a favorable outcome, our experienced litigators are fully prepared and exceptionally skilled in the courtroom.
