Common Questions About Criminal Defense in Arkansas

  • What should I do if I’m arrested in Arkansas?

    Remain silent and ask for an attorney—anything you say can be used against you.

  • Can I get my charges reduced or dismissed?

    Yes, it is possible but depends on the case – we analyze every detail to pursue the best possible outcome.

  • How does record sealing work in Arkansas?

    Certain offenses qualify for expungement, allowing you to remove charges from your record. Generally, upon completing your sentence, you may petition a court to seal your record. If the Prosecuting Attorney objects, the court will hold a short hearing to determine whether your record should be sealed.

  • Will my case go to a final trial?

    Most cases are resolved without going to trial, through a plea deal or dismissal.

  • What are my rights after being charged with a crime?

    Someone facing a criminal charge has a wide variety of constitutional rights, including the right to an attorney, a fair trial, and protection against self-incrimination. Be sure to speak with an attorney right away to ensure that all your constitutional rights are protected and enforced.
