As you’re processing everything that’s happened, you should start taking steps to hire the right criminal defense attorney in South Carolina as quickly as you can. The Law Offices of Michael L. Brown, Jr. recommend taking the following steps.
- Determine your needs. Who brought the charges and in which court system will your case be heard? Your charges will determine whether you need a criminal defense attorney who’s able to represent you in local, state, or federal courts.
- Talk with your attorney. Once you’ve hired the best attorney for your case, keep in close communication with them, especially if you remember any additional details that may affect your defense.
- Ask questions. Your attorney is there to help you and to make you feel as comfortable as possible about your case. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, especially about any parts of the process you don’t understand.
