The process includes arrest, arraignment, pre-trial motions, jury selection, opening statements, presentation of evidence, closing arguments, jury deliberation, verdict, and sentencing.
Look for experienced attorneys specializing in criminal defense with a proven track record of success. Seek recommendations, read online reviews, and schedule consultations to find a lawyer who fits your needs.
Remain calm, invoke your right to remain silent, and ask for an attorney immediately. Do not answer any questions or sign any documents without legal counsel.
