An arrest or even an investigation for an alleged criminal offense can be an incredibly frightening and stressful experience. Many people facing criminal charges immediately wonder what will happen if they are found guilty and what kind of sentences they might receive. Finding the right Criminal Defense Attorney is a must.
It is important to remember that every alleged offender in Texas is presumed innocent and a prosecutor is required to prove that person’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in order to convict him or her of a criminal offense. No individual should say anything to authorities about any alleged crime without legal representation.
