Law Questions & Answers

• I've been arrested, what do I do?
• How do I post bail?
• How does the bail system work?
• Who can I talk to about my case?

• Do I need a lawyer?

• I’ve been served with a restraining order, what does this mean?

Answer:

That depends on the nature of your case and the impact it will have on your life and your future. When your liberty is at stake, having the best defense may mean the difference between resuming your life versus years of incarceration. Even in less serious matters, the collateral consequences are sometimes the most costly as a criminal conviction remains in your record FOREVER in law enforcement data bases. Even a midsemeanor conviction may jeopordize professional licenses (state board membership, medical licenses, CPA status, teaching credentials). Moreover, in the information age, more and more entities are gaining access to criminal records in the course of routine hiring procedures. Thus, it becomes crucial to retain a lawyer so your temporary problem does not result in long term regret.
