Why You Should Contact a Criminal Defense Lawyer Prior to Answering Any Questions from Law Enforcement

When you have been arrested and charged with a crime, whether a misdemeanor or a serious felony charge, one rule holds true: do not discuss your case or answer questions until you have legal representation. Every word you say can, and likely will, be used against you.

In order to defend your case, you need legal counsel to advise you of your rights and how to proceed in answering questions by law enforcement. Time may be critical and fast action by a Galveston criminal defense lawyer like Sturm can make the crucial difference in any criminal charge. The Sturm Law Firm is ready to move now and take the critical defense actions that may change the outcome of your case for the better!

Why the Sturm Law Firm Might Be the Right Choice to Handle Your Criminal Case for You

• You can call us anytime and we will return your call within 24 hours.

• No case is too big or too small — we handle criminal cases ranging from simple misdemeanors to serious felonies.

• We will attempt to get you out of jail without posting bail. If arrested in Brazoria County, we can post bail for you.

• We will not "dump" your case on the first or second court appearance by entering a "guilty" or "no contest" plea. Many Texas criminal attorneys plead their clients out on the first or second court appearance.

• We will attempt to have your case dismissed prior to charges being filed or alternatively, if the case is filed we will attempt to reduce the charges.

• If your case goes to trial, we will seek a “Not Guilty” verdict - a criminal defense lawyer who is willing and prepared for trial often obtains a better result than a lawyer who simply "negotiates pleas."

• We will keep you informed at all times regarding your case.

• We will patiently guide you through the confusing processes of the criminal justice system.

• We will attempt to keep you out of jail by seeking sentencing alternatives such as house arrest, electronic monitoring, drug rehabilitation, community service, and counseling.
