How To Choose an Attorney
One of the most important decisions that you will make in the wake of such an accusation will be your choice in attorney. Too many legal firms are content to run their clients through a legal machine, never taking the time to get to know each case on a personal level and instead simply offering generalized and generic advice. You cannot be satisfied with such subpar legal representation; you need to be confident that you have the aggressive and personalized attention of a law firm completely devoted to protecting your rights.
Do You Have to Appear at a Clerk Magistrate Hearing?
If a private person filed a criminal complaint against you, and you were neither arrested nor did the police witness anything, you will be sent a notice to appear at a Clerk's hearing. Also called a show cause hearing, you will appear before the clerk of the court to determine whether there is probable cause to issue a criminal complaint. Our attorneys can help you achieve a successful result. Whether we procure a dismissal, negotiate a favorable agreement, or seek a continuance, our winning formula can go to work for you.
