At Brad Bailey Law, we are pleased to announce the release of our client on personal recognizance after they voluntarily surrendered to the United States Marshals Office at the New Hampshire Federal Court. While the client's trial is still some time away, our team is diligently preparing to fight for their freedom.
In movies about criminal cases, the climactic scene usually occurs when the jury returns a verdict of guilty or not guilty. In real life, only a small fraction of cases go to trial, but every criminal case includes an arraignment. The arraignment is when the judge reads the criminal charges against the defendant, and the defendant enters a plea, usually guilty or not guilty. In felony cases, it takes many steps to get to an arraignment, and the process continues after the arraignment, even if the defendant pleads guilty.
The Best Time to Hire a Lawyer Is Before the Arraignment
Deciding which plea to enter is one of the most important decisions in your criminal case. Therefore, you need your lawyer’s advice the most before you must provide a plea at your arraignment. If you have been arrested or are the subject of a criminal investigation, it is time to hire a criminal defense attorney.
