Frequently asked questions
What should I expect from a good criminal defense lawyer?
You should expect that your criminal defense attorney have the knowledge of the law and experience defending the type of charges you are facing as well as experience in the court where the charges were filed, and that he/she is a skilled litigator and negotiator.
Not all criminal defense lawyers are experienced in both state and federal courts, so it is important to find out where the attorney has practiced and if he or she has defended similar cases.
At Swab & Stall, we practice criminal defense in the State and Federal courts in Oklahoma, Tribal Courts, surrounding states, and have defended nearly every variety of criminal charges. We are seasoned litigators and our negotiation skills reflect our vast experience and success.
What is the process after criminal charges are filed in court?
If a person has been arrested for a crime, generally they must appear for an arraignment, at which time the charges will be publicly announced, a plea of not guilty will be entered on behalf of the defendant and a determination of bail or conditions of release will be presented to the court.
In Oklahoma, an arraignment an extremely important event because the conditions of release often determine how effectively an individual can defend his/her case (i.e. have access to therapy or treatment, ability to maintain employment and support family, greater flexibility to meet with his/her attorney and prepare for hearings, etc.) Therefore, at Swab & Stall, we highly recommended that you call us to retain our services as your dedicated attorneys prior to the arraignment, if possible.
In Oklahoma, the courts will schedule an arraignment generally followed by a preliminary hearing or jury trial sounding docket. Next, the courts will then schedule hearings on any relevant motions and, if the case is not resolved by the defense attorney and the prosecutor, it will schedule a trial before either a judge or a jury.
This is a general outline of the process in Oklahoma – please give us a call today to go through your specific needs in more detail.
Should I represent myself in a criminal case?
There is an old saying that has endured for many years and says that: A person who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer.
To no fault of their own, a person generally does not have the knowledge and understanding of the law and the procedures and even if they possess that knowledge, they generally do not have the ability to evaluate their situation objectively due to their personal involvement. It is therefore, never recommended to represent yourself in a criminal case as there is a risk of serious life altering consequences.
