Answering your criminal law questions
If you have been accused of a criminal act, you should seek the advice of a criminal lawyer. There's a great deal of confusion regarding criminal law, and what you don’t know can cost you. Whether you're trying to understand the difference between an infraction, misdemeanor or felony, need to know how to post bail and what it means, or want to know which states support the death penalty, you'll want accurate answers to your legal questions.
If you think your case was handled incorrectly, due to issues such as whether the arresting officers were within their legal jurisdiction or if you weren’t read your Miranda rights, a lawyer can help you determine if you have been treated legally. This can have a dramatic impact on your case, resulting in certain testimonies deemed inadmissible or even having the case dismissed.
Because lawyers are expensive, and charge by the hour for even short visits, it can be worth your while to ask a lawyer online for simple questions. A qualified criminal law Expert on JustAnswer may be able to provide you with valuable advice regarding your rights and responsibilities, and help you to choose the best course of action.
