Our ExpertAnswers

1
How do I know if I need a criminal defense lawyer?
If you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or even suspect you may be under investigation, it is crucial to consult with a criminal defense lawyer. Legal representation is vital to ensure your rights are protected, to navigate the complexities of the legal system, and to offer you the best defense possible. In criminal matters, the stakes are often high, and a skilled lawyer like Calvin B. Fuller can be the difference between a conviction and an acquittal.
2
What is the difference between misdemeanor and a felony?
The primary difference lies in the severity of the crime and the corresponding punishment. Misdemeanors are considered less serious offenses than felonies and usually carry a lighter sentence, such as a fine or short-term jail time. Felonies are more serious crimes that can result in significant prison time, larger fines, and more lasting consequences. Understanding the nature of the charges against you is critical, and our firm can help clarify the specific implications of your case.
3
How much will it cost to hire a defense lawyer?
The cost of hiring a defense lawyer can vary widely based on the complexity of the case, the lawyer's experience, and the length of time required to resolve the matter. At the Calvin B. Fuller Law Office, we strive to provide transparent and fair pricing. We would be glad to discuss our fee structure during a consultation and ensure you have a clear understanding of any anticipated costs.
4
Can't I just represent myself in court?
While you have the right to represent yourself in court, known as "pro se" representation, it is generally not advisable. Criminal law can be highly complex, and representing yourself can put you at a significant disadvantage. A defense lawyer like Calvin B. Fuller has the knowledge and experience to effectively navigate the legal system, advocate on your behalf, and seek the best possible outcome for your case. It is in your best interest to have professional legal representation in criminal proceedings.
