Good morning, Eddie. I’m wondering, what’s the downside of me going to the District Court Commissioner myself instead of hiring an attorney? Also, what type of attorney would I need to pursue criminal charges?
Hey! So, if you’re trying to get charges brought, you actually wouldn’t need an attorney for that. You can go straight to the District Court Commissioner yourself. But if you want to have an attorney involved, a criminal defense lawyer would be the best choice. They can help with understanding the process and have knowledge of how things work with prosecutors and the police.
A criminal defense attorney is the one you’d want if you plan on dealing with legal matters related to criminal charges. They have the experience with both the law and the people in the system.
I agree with XYZ. If you want to handle things yourself, you’re good to go, but an attorney is really useful when you start facing complex legal stuff.
For sure, having a criminal defense lawyer could make things way easier if the case gets complicated. Just makes the whole process smoother.
Thanks everyone for the info! I was on the fence about needing a lawyer, but now I get why they’re important if things get tricky. Appreciate the help .
