Dallas Bail Bondsman: Importance of a Lawyer
Michael Lowe is Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization
Is it important to hire a criminal defense lawyer
early on, or should I wait until my case is filed
or I am indicted?
In most cases, hiring a criminal defense lawyer
to do an initial investigation can make the difference
between having a criminal record and never having
a criminal record. All felony cases must be heard
by a Grand Jury. The Grand Jury will determine
whether there is at least probable cause to believe
a crime was committed. The Grand Jury hearing
will be anywhere from a few weeks to a couple
of months after the case is filed.
Once the Felony case is filed, but before the Grand Jury hearing, the Defendant has the right to have an examining trial. At the examining trial, the criminal defense lawyer can cross examine the police officers that filed the case and view the police report. If you do not have a lawyer to scrutinize the evidence and do an independent investigation, then the Grand Jury will likely indict the Defendant.
If you need the bond posted now, then the Law Offices of Michael Lowe can help.
