How to Turn Your Criminal Case from Blah to Fantastic with a Criminal Defense Lawyer in Florida

How to Turn Your Criminal Case from Blah to Fantastic with a Criminal Defense Lawyer in Florida

To call a criminal charge a “blah” experience can seem like a serious understatement. Any kind of arrest or prosecution is devastating, not to mention incredibly stressful.

If you have been charged with a crime in Florida, it is important to do everything in your power to maximize your chance of obtaining a favorable result. For some people, this means a dismissal of all charges. For others, it may mean a reduction in the charges pending against them.

Whatever you are facing, there are several things you can do to help your case and yourself. A big part of getting the results you desire is working with your attorney every step of the way.

The following are three ways you can transform a bad situation into a successful one:

1. Discuss Your Case Only with Your Criminal Defense Lawyer

Although it is tempting to reach out to family and friends after a criminal charge, refrain from discussing any details with anyone other than your lawyer. You may wish to contact your family or friends to tell your side of the story or set the record straight, but you should resist this urge.

What many people don’t realize is that communications with your attorney are protected from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege. Your communications with others are not protected. In fact, even jailhouse telephone calls are routinely monitored by the authorities.

In one jurisdiction, CNN reports dismissals of criminal prosecutions were down by 15 percent due to admissions made by criminal defendants during phone calls placed from jail.

2. Honesty is the Best Policy

Your lawyer has your best interest in mind. It is therefore essential to be completely honest with your attorney about the details of your case. Some people withhold information because they are embarrassed. It is a natural human instinct to shy away from divulging things that make others see us in a negative light. Keep in mind, however, that your attorney can’t do his job if he doesn’t know the full facts of your case.

3. Keep it Cool…(because Kindness Counts)

If you have been arrested, then you may understandably be angry with the police…and with life in general. You are frustrated by your situation, and the police are a very obvious representation of your predicament. Although you may want to vent your frustration on the authorities, it is very important to keep a cool head.

It is also important to treat the police with courtesy and respect. This does not mean you should volunteer information to them or consent to any searches. If you must deal with the police, be polite but firm about your desire to have a lawyer present for any questioning. As the old saying goes, kindness counts.

Consult with Knowledgeable Criminal Defense Attorneys

If you’ve been charged with a crime of any complexity or capacity, then you are likely frustrated, stressed, and a bit on edge. However, you are more in control than you think. With a little effort on your part, a terrible situation like a criminal charge can turn into a success. Work with a criminal attorney who will fight for your rights and ensure you receive a fair trial. You can help to make your criminal defense case a success story for you and your attorney.
