After you decide to hire one of our attorneys, the person assigned to your case will take a number of steps to aid in your defense. It's likely that your Arkansas criminal defense attorney will contact the state to ask for evidence or to gauge the possibility of a plea bargain. Of course, if you don't want a plea deal, your representative will start the process of preparing for trial. If necessary, your advocate will handle requests for interviews, statements, or public comments regarding the matter.
