What is "The Criminal Process"?
The law mandates a step by step process that must be followed when a criminal accusation is made. From the beginning, you need an experienced attorney to protect your rights and develop your defense. For instance, you need an attorney to be prepared to address the question of bail in the beginning of your case. If you hire a bad or inexperienced attorney who does not understand California’s bail laws you could end up in custody while your case is pending. Mr. Humphrey and Mr. Thompson are experienced in bail issues and have given presentations to other attorneys on bail law. As the process continues, your attorney must begin to gather all evidence and conduct an independent investigation. Many attorneys simply rely on what is in a police report. A police report is only a starting point. At Humphrey and Thompson, we will investigate your case and the people involved, and begin discovery efforts as soon as the law allows. There will be extensive research and investigation conducted when you hire H&T before anything is done in court.
