Do you need a criminal lawyer?

Facing any criminal accusation can be extremely daunting. Criminal charges range from misdemeanors to felonies, with the type and degree of punishments varying, depending on the nature of the crime. The aftermath of a criminal trial is devastating, not only to the convicted person, but his/her family as well. Therefore, selecting the right criminal lawyer is paramount when going through the legal process.

At the Riverside County LRS, we have prescreened criminal attorneys who have the necessary knowledge and experience to handle criminal cases. During your consultation, the lawyer can evaluate your situation and provide you with sound guidance regarding the next steps.

It’s important to be honest about your situation with your lawyer during the consultation. This will help him/her fully gauge your legal issue and how to proceed. Refraining from giving important information to the lawyer, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be, can be detrimental in the long run. Remember, everything that say to the lawyer, even if you decide to not work with him/her, will remain confidential and cannot be repeated without your consent.
