Frequently Asked Questions
Can I represent myself in court?
You have the right to represent yourself in court. This is called "pro se". However, this is rarely successful as without a full knowledge of criminal law, you will not know the vital aspects of criminal defense; when the prosecutor oversteps his/her bounds you won't know when to object; when evidence against you could be suppressed by a court challenge, you don't have the knowledge to make this court challenge; there are countless reasons why an individual would choose to have legal representation from a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney, but the most critical is your freedom and the possibility of being found "not guilty" that comes with a skilled defense.
Is a criminal defense lawyer from Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates expensive?
Each case is different and may take more or less time from the criminal defense lawyer at the firm. What is crucial to understand is that many crimes include penalties of huge fines, some in tens of thousands of dollars. If you consider the fines and the likelihood of jail or prison time, you have to determine what this is worth to you. The legal team at the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates makes every effort to keep the costs low by working in a cost-effective manner on behalf of the client.
Is there any hope that the charges against me will be dropped?
There is always the possibility that this could occur. When it does, it is due to the hard work of your defense team. Every aspect of your case will be reviewed, and if there were errors in police procedure in your arrest or in the gathering of the evidence against you, these violations will be exploited on your behalf. Court challenges can be filed to suppress evidence when overzealous law enforcement violated correct police procedure. When the evidence against you cannot be allowed in court, there is no case against you, and the charges will most likely be dropped. You need a skilled criminal defense team from the Law Offices of Sean Tabibian & Associates to review every aspect of your case to determine if this is possible in your specific criminal charges.
Is there any possibility that the charges can be reduced?
In many cases this is a strong option. This can be accomplished in some cases with a skilled negotiation on your behalf from one of the criminal defense lawyers at the firm.
