How Liberty Lawyers Win Their Cases

• Preparation and Investigation – While many law firms will tell you that they do their homework, seldom actually do. Liberty Lawyers stands apart from the rest by putting the time and energy in to investigating what actually took place in your case and often times wins the case long before it ever goes to trial.
• Hard Work and Dedication – Hard work and dedication are not the typical mantra of attorneys in the San Diego area. Liberty Lawyers understands this and we want you to understand that when we accept your case, we will work every possible angle, find every possible flaw in the case against you. This is how we win case after case and is simply another example of how we go out of our way to make sure that you don’t go to jail.
• Advantage of a Solid Reputation – Simply put, lawyers with better reputations get better results. Liberty Lawyers has an extremely strong reputation in the court house, prosecutors know that our firm puts a lot of work in to the cases that we defend and that work shows in the courtroom through our preparation and success with all types of criminal cases.
• Our Clients Are Not Just Numbers – At Liberty Lawyers you’re not a number, you’re a real person with a real life that needs help in defending your rights. Part of representing you includes presenting you to the court in a way that reminds them that you’re a person too.

What To Do After You’ve Been Charged With A Crime

1. Call An Attorney – The first thing that you need to do after being charged with a crime is assert your right to speak with an attorney. Do not discuss your case with anyone but your attorney. Many times officers will attempt to get you to confess to a crime without you even knowing it, sometimes they will even go as low as to put an undercover officer in your cell and use the information they collect against you.
2. Arrange Bail – Try and arrange bail as soon as possible. If you are arranging bail for a loved one, Liberty Lawyers suggests using Aladdin Bail Bonds at 1-619-231-7900
3. Recall What Happened – Immediately try and put together a mental list of what happened during your arrest. Many times this can be difficult but attempting to remember what took place will help your attorney and could be a determining factor in keeping you out of jail.

How A Criminal Conviction Can Affect Your Life

• Jail Time – This is an obvious affect for a criminal conviction but it is something that people do not think about enough. When you’re in jail, your life stops, the rest of the world continues to move forward but your life stays still until you are freed. The months or years that are spent in jail can never been regained.
• Loss Of Rights – When convicted for a crime in San Diego county you could potentially lose these rights:
  • Right To Own A Firearm - You will not longer be able to purchase or own a firearm
  • 4th Amendment Rights - The Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures. Losing this right means that you can be searched anytime, anywhere.
• Financial Loss – Hiring a good attorney is expensive, hiring a bad attorney is even more expensive. If you are convicted of a crime you will end up paying court fees, probation fees and most likely will have to pay for classes related to helping you understand the severity of your crime.
• Employment Opportunities – The conviction of a crime stays on your record and it’s available to every employer in the country and in some cases it is mandatory that you release information about your crime to any potential employer. This substantially limits the opportunity you have to get a good job or be promoted to a higher paying job.
