    Facing Criminal Charges? Get Answers to Critical Questions

    • What are my immediate rights after an arrest?

      Beyond remaining silent, you have specific rights, including phone calls, medical attention if needed, and the right to refuse searches without a warrant. Contact our Broward County criminal defense attorneys immediately at (561) 659-8337 to protect these rights.

    • What happens at the first court appearance?

      Your first court appearance (arraignment) typically occurs within 24 hours of your arrest. Having a criminal defense attorney present can impact crucial decisions about bail, charges, and release conditions.

    • Can I get my records sealed or expunged?

      Florida law allows certain criminal records to be sealed or expunged if you meet specific criteria. Our criminal defense lawyers can evaluate your eligibility and guide you through this process to protect your future opportunities.

    • What's the difference between a felony and a misdemeanor in Florida?

      Understanding charge classification is crucial. Misdemeanors typically carry up to one year in jail, while felonies can result in over one year in state prison. Each has different implications for your rights and future.

    • How do plea bargains work?

      While plea negotiations can reduce charges or penalties, accepting a plea has long-term consequences. We'll help you understand all the implications before making this important decision.
