He who is representative of himself has fool for the client.
That old expression is true.
If you are not a mechanic, will you disassemble the engine in the car? If you need appendicitectomy, do you do it yourself? Even if you are a surgeon, that is probably still a bad idea. The result is miserable. When you are accused of a crime the same thing is done to defend in the court. The result is probably disastrous.
In Washington State, the maximum punishment you face when accused of misdemeanor is 90 days in prison, a fine of 1000 dollars. I am convinced of your records that everyone can see, like future employers and landlords. Depending on crime and criminal history, you can also receive probation for up to two years. In addition to the imposed penalty, we must pay monthly probation fee. If you have been under probation for two years, that bill could cost thousands of dollars. During probation probation you may be instructed to receive an assessment of the problem that caused the misconduct. What do you think; you need to pay for that evaluation as well. If the evaluator determines that there are problems requiring treatment, you must comply with the treatment recommendations and yes, you must pay the treatment fee.
All probation observation fees and requirements also apply to serious misconduct. The difference between a serious crime and a serious crime is the greatest punishment. If you fall into a serious minor offense, the court can claim up to 1 year imprisonment, fine up to $ 5 thousand, in addition to all of the probationary requirements. In Washington, driving your first driving is a serious fraud. Do you remember when I told you that you can take a two-year probation on crime of misdemeanor and serious minor offense? It is true except DUI. In Washington, if you refuse to drink, you will receive a 5-year probation. Did you know that? If you are considering expressing yourself in a criminal case, it really must be what you know.
You also need to know that DUI is one of several offsets that carry the minimum mandatory sentence. In other words, if you are convicted in the first harassment DUI, the court must at least apply a minimum of probationary observance and punishment. Depending on whether you have undergone breathing examinations, the reading of the breath test and whether you are convicted of the previous DUI or not determines the minimum amount you are facing. The minimum amount is 1 day, 2 days, 30 days, 45 days, or more, and it is possible to monitor essential electronic housing in addition to that in prison. The forced minimum penalty increase also depends on the above criteria. In addition, it is necessary to attach an ignition interlock device to the driving vehicle. The privilege to drive is also stopped. Do you think you should still represent yourself?
If you encounter a crime that is regarded as 'domestic violence', you will have other results beyond what you have just said. Specifically, if a certain "domestic violence" crime is denied, you lose the right to possess firearms in Washington State and the federal government. Have you joined the Army or applied to a police school? not anymore. You usually need to be able to hold a gun to have those jobs. You can not have a gun if you are convinced of the "domestic violence" crime. Do you know what the "court of record" is, until the "court of records" restores your rights and the federal government still prevents you from owning a gun? Do you know what you have to do or how long you have to wait to petition the court to restore your rights? Your lawyer is. Your lawyer also emphasizes that if you possess firearms after refusing "domestic violence" without losing the rights recorded in the court, you will commit a felony. Later, I graduated misdemeanor acts of a local government or district court to a felony of a higher court and a possible criminal of a prison.
Another reason for being denied "domestic violence" minor offenses or severe minor offenses is the possibility of issuing contactless orders that restrict you from contacting the victims of the incident. That's exactly what it says. If you have contactless instructions for you, please proceed as though that person does not exist. Please do not talk to them, phone, text, or email. Please do not send a message through a third party. If you do, it is a new criminal responsibility to violate orders. In Washington, the third non-contact order violation ... It is a felony guessing it. If you attack an unbelievably poor decision after breaking the order and hit others to compound your poor decision, you also commit a felony and it is your third violation there is no. Did you know that? Your criminal lawyer thinks about you.
Have you started my drifting? These may have been convicted for misdemeanor and serious fraud. Fraud and serious misconduct are the most serious crimes in Washington and you can see how it affects your life. Is it the dice you want rolled by yourself? We have not touched on the various aspects of going to the court.
You were not talking about expressing yourself with felony charges in the upper courts. I will not do either. Stakes are expensive. If you try to work on showing yourself against a felony, it is certainly a suicide. I have been appointed as a "waiting" counsel in two cases where the advocate was accused with a very serious felony. After a simple trial, one of my clients realized he had more heads than before. He is a smart move to the judge. I believe that I got a much better result than if he tried to do it myself.
Other clients waited until the start of the trial period, then to the judge, I want them to step in to handle the trial. He was trying to arrange his witnesses and prepare his defense from the county's prison. Needless to say, I did my best to try the incident (even after saying that his expert witness actually agreed with the state experts). Needless to say, we lost the incident. He was denied a very serious accusation and received a sentence of up to 10 years.
Let me learn from you. If you do not have legal training or have a real knowledge of how the system actually operates, you are exposed to serious danger of exacerbating things beyond repair. They can not be entitled to represent themselves just because they were accused of a crime and appeared before the court before.
As you can see, I strongly appeal to those who speak before crime, crime, lawyers are hired or at least made decisions. Please ask for free consultation. Please ask the public 's guardian. Yes, it is a public defender. You should not try this case yourself. Even if you are a lawyer. I tell you what you want about a lawyer, but lawyers (at least most people) are smarter enough to know better than to try to express themselves in criminal cases. As a defender, you have the right to keep silence. Let someone talk to you who knows what they are doing.
If you can hire a private criminal defense attorney, please give yourself a benefit. Ask someone who knows who employed the criminal defense attorney for introduction. We will investigate the local attorney online on the attorney introduction website. Please consult with multiple lawyers. Please find out what you can do about them. How long did they practice? How long do they practice the criminal law? How much trial experience do they have? Please find a person you feel comfortable with. It becomes very important as your case advances. If you can not hire a private lawyer, please absolutely apply for a public lawyer.
Public Defender
People find that it is prevalent that it hacks into public defenses. They call them "public lies" and other derogatory names. But what do you know? At a minimum, they have a law degree. They went to law school and passed the lawyer exam. Even with the minimum requirement to become a lawyer, you are in a much better position than you represent yourself in the court.
People who are convicted of crime will blow up public defenders. Some people think that public defenders must have failed if they do not leave Scottfree. As if the guardian of the citizen positively bought you to convince the oath. They told you to call you guilty. Bull. You are a client. You make a final decision on what will happen to your affair. It is up to you if you do not want to sit something and put it on trial. Your public advocate (or the attorney in question) may advise you that going to a trial may be a bad idea, according to the evidence the prosecutors have committed against you. They may also tell you the results you face if you decide to cancel the petition on the table and go to a trial. If the lawyer does not tell you such things, they will not do their job. In fact, you must distribute all offers (including lame ones) to clients. It does not mean that they are talking to you and trying to appeal for your sins. They are fulfilling their work and ethical obligations.
The public defenders have historically been overloaded in the incident. Only the city or county paying the office's fee has a lot of money to spend on official security offices. In other words, it means that only a limited number of lawyers can be hired. Among the limited number of lawyers, all cases referred to official defense offices must be divided. The number of incidents increases at a faster pace than the number of lawyers. Even if the county or city council approves the budget to add another attorney, the lawyer is a band's aid. And the increase in litigation will continue to expand, and will sweep some extra benefit added by the new attorney.
Even so, it is better than trying to express yourself. The reason is that the guardian of the people working too much, knowledge, skills, and most importantly, are experiencing court practice and cases you have not experienced.
The Penal Code is all the practice of public defense. They are not part of a general practice law firm to handle some criminal cases for citizen's clients for a while. Every day, every day, public defenders read and investigate criminal law. They are gestures of writing and controversy to suppress evidence and dispel charge. They are trying criminal cases on the bench (judge only) and the jury. Even a rookie public guard who graduated from a law school and passed the lawyer exam is in a better position than to represent you in the courtroom. How do you ask? They have resources. The largest resource, the new attorney has other lawyers in his or her office. They routinely go to colleagues and supervisors, run the case by them and seek advice.
Normally, a lawyer can insist that a law school is a waste of time, but is a problem check of a potential young lawyer at a law school teacher. Discovery is very important for your case. Do you know whether an official has followed the appropriate procedure to get your confession? Do you know whether officials broke the cabin when processing your evidence? What does 'cabinet' mean? You may think that statements and evidence are suppressed yourself, but it is probably wrong. You will probably find a difficult way, simply get sentence and evidence is more suppressing than crying Miranda! "Egypt" fourth revision!
Another tool important to law school lawyers' learners is how to find out the problem you found. Do you know the place to go for research? Do you know what to look for when you get there? Is there a court rule to control? Is the law you are looking for? The question of the evidence you are about to answer? Is legislative history of the law that you need prohibited? Is it a case to interpret one of the above that you need to find? If you find it, is it still a good law? Even defenders of the new court can know where the local legal library is (or which internet site to use) and where to go.
Please let me know this? How many times have you tried on the jury? Well? What are you saying? None? You have never stood before a judge, a prosecutor or a jury. Have you never asked a witness to you? Do you know the mechanism of trial? In other words, do you know what kind of movement you have before the trial begins? Do you know what those movements are? Do you know how to choose a jury? What is the purpose of the opening statement? What kinds of questions are allowed during the witness's direct and mutual review? How will you present an effective discussion? And do you think that it is a good idea to learn these things for the first time by a person hitting the heaven of the future? If you have never operated before, should you start with applying an appendicectomy?
If you can afford to hire a private lawyer as described above, please do it. But if you can not hire a private lawyer and you are eligible for a public attorney, please accept him or her. You can help a lawyer's attorney. They will appreciate their help. Please cooperate with them. Defense will be much easier and stronger if you help lawyers and they are not fighting to be public guardians.
Public defender office is similar to other offices of other business. They have a very, very good, dedicated and dedicated workforce as much as possible. They also have employees who are striving, but they may not be that good people. Unfortunately, there is probably a very small amount. They are not dedicated and not difficult. It is simply a fact of life. But it is not a public advocate. They will be the same workers if they are lawyers, private lawyers, doctors, or drivers. That is who they are.
But if you are a minority of clients who get its public defender all hope will not be lost. As a result, it may be difficult to work because you simply do not return the phone etc. As mentioned above, attorneys can assist lawyers. We know that you will be motivated for your affair. You can do whatever you can to help defense, such as gathering witness names and phone numbers and telling them to lawyers. Another way to help is completely honest with your attorney. Please tell your family and friends what you want to do. As you know, I must tell my truth to a lawyer. It is less difficult to defend the case than not knowing all the facts. It does not mean that the lawyer will reveal your information to anyone. They can not because of lawyers - client privileges. Know what questions a lawyer asks questions and helps in asking when examining witnesses at a trial or negotiating with a public prosecutor.
If you think you can afford a lawyer, use free counseling and discuss your choices with private lawyers. Please find a person who feels that you hire with peace of mind.
If you can not afford to hire a private lawyer, please apply for a public defense team. Remember, "He who represents himself has a fool for the client Do not be a fool.
