Mary Esther Criminal Defense and DUI Lawyer
What Options Do You Have After You Are Arrested In Mary Esther Florida?
On the list of many questions people have when they get arrested is….
As my court date approaches, what do I do?
Most people have never been in this situation before and have no idea how this process works. If that describes your situation, here’s a quick rundown of what is going to happen.
You’re eventually going to end up in front of judge and you have two options to consider for that date.
- Go with a Public Defender
- Retain the services of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
Typically, a Public Defender is the sole option for people arrested in Mary Esther because people are short on cash. That’s totally understandable.
But that might not be the best option because public defenders are overworked, they lack the time to prepare your case, and many times will just take the best deal the prosecutor has to offer.
Your other choice, hiring a professional, is the better choice.
I’m Tim Flaherty – and if you’re considering having a criminal defense or DUI attorney in the Mary Esther area represent you, I’d like you to call me. Here are some reasons why.
- I have over a decade of experience helping those that have been arrested in Mary Esther and elsewhere across the Florida Panhandle – and I’m very good at what I do.
- When you call, we’ll talk about your situation (or a family member’s problem) and walk through what you’re facing. I won’t pressure you to do anything – I’ll just answer your questions and provide a little advice.
