First questions, short answers

Not without a lawyer. You can be polite and still say you won't answer questions until you have one. That holds even if they say you're only a witness.

It depends on the charge and on whether the case goes to trial. We quote the fee in writing after the first conversation, before you hire us, and say exactly what it covers.

Usually not much: the charge is read, bond may be reviewed, and the case is set for another day. You have to be there, and so will your lawyer.

Call us with their full name, date of birth and where they were taken. We can find out the charge and the bond, and arrange to talk with them.

Sometimes. No honest lawyer can promise it at the first meeting. We can tell you what would have to be true for a dismissal, and whether it looks that way.

No. Whether to plead or go to trial is your decision. Our job is to tell you plainly what each would likely mean.

Yes, across Shelby County and the counties around it, and in the Mississippi and Arkansas courts where our lawyers are admitted.

Yes. At the jail, by video, or somewhere that works for you if you can't come downtown.
