Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I've been arrested?

If you’ve been arrested, follow instructions, and don’t resist law enforcement. If you’re offered a chemical test, take it. Don’t volunteer information. Assert your right to remain silent and ask for your lawyer. Contact us right away. A lawyer can represent you at your first hearing before a judge.

Do I need a lawyer if I'm innocent?

Yes! You might hope that the judge and jury will just see the truth. But we have an adversarial system. You must navigate the system. A lawyer can help you do this effectively and efficiently. We can protect your rights and interests as you defend your reputation.

What kind of penalties am I facing?

Each criminal charge has maximum penalties. Sentences commonly include jail time, probation, counseling, driver’s license penalties, restitution and treatment programs. There may be indirect consequences, too. What you’re likely to receive depends on the conviction, your criminal history, harm to victims, local court practices and other factors. With Hellams Law as your lawyer, we can give you a personalized consultation about what you are facing. Plus, as your lawyer, we work to minimize the impact on your life.

Can my charges be reduced or dismissed?

Criminal charges can be voluntarily dismissed by the prosecution, or you may be found not guilty at trial. In addition, if the court suppresses evidence, it can make it difficult for the state to proceed. Some charges can be resolved through a diversion program, treatment court or deferred prosecution. It just depends on the circumstances. When you contact us, we can discuss ways to reduce or dismiss your charges.
