Important for First Time Offenders

People who have been arrested for the first time may be in a position to receive several forms of leniency. The various programs are offered by the State Attorney's Office and the Court. These may include pretrial diversion (state), pretrial intervention (state), drug court (court), and probation (court). Juvenile offenders have other options.

Upon Arrest Time Limitations are in Effect

The rules regarding criminal procedure are strictly adhered to in criminal cases. Upon arrest (this includes receiving a summons to appear) the speedy trial rule requires that the state bring the defendant to trial within 175 days (felony) or 90 days (misdemeanor).

People who have not been arrested...

People who have not been arrested but believe they are a suspect (also known as "person of interest") in a criminal case should consult with an attorney immediately. The police will move quick to have the suspect speak with them. Whatever the person says can and will be used against them. People should not talk with the police without first consulting with an attorney. An attorney can invoke a person's Constitutional Rights and protect that person from police interrogations.

If the police still charge the suspect with a crime an attorney can help them obtain a bond and represent them in court.
