Do I Need to Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?

Hiring a criminal defense attorney is crucial because your rights, freedom, and future are at stake. The legal system is complex, and a knowledgeable attorney helps you navigate it while protecting your rights from the moment you’re arrested. They analyze your case, challenge evidence, and work toward the best possible outcome—whether through negotiation or trial. The earlier an attorney is involved, the more options they have to help.

Not always. Most personal injury cases settle without going to court. However, court may be necessary if the at-fault party or their insurer refuses to pay fair value, if facts are disputed, or if complex legal issues arise. If litigation becomes necessary, we’ll represent you every step of the way with a dedicated legal and medical team.

Look for experience, reputation, local knowledge, and communication. At Mowrey Law, our team includes former prosecutors who understand both sides of the courtroom. Read reviews, ask about local experience, and make sure the attorney is responsive and trustworthy. Choosing the right attorney is about finding someone who listens, explains, and truly advocates for you. Meet our legal team on the Our Team page.

To determine if you have a valid claim, we examine four legal elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. If someone failed to act safely, caused your injury, and you’ve suffered damages, we may be able to help. From there, we begin a thorough investigation and work to resolve your case. If needed, we’ll take it to court to fight for your rights.
You can reach out to us directly through our Contact page to discuss your situation.

The criminal process begins with an arrest or summons, followed by your first appearance and arraignment. Your attorney will review the evidence, negotiate with the prosecution, and—if necessary—prepare for trial. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and advocate for your best outcome.

Costs depend on the severity of the charges and the complexity of your case. For example, traffic ticket defense may cost a few hundred dollars, while felony representation often starts at $5,000. At Mowrey Law, we charge a flat fee with no hidden costs, and we explain all fees up front during your initial consultation.

We begin with a consultation to evaluate your claim, followed by a detailed investigation. You’ll receive medical treatment while we gather evidence. When treatment concludes, we issue a demand based on your damages. Most claims settle at this point, but we’re fully prepared to litigate if necessary.
