Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I'm arrested?

Remain silent and request an attorney immediately. Do not answer questions or make statements without your lawyer present. Contact The Mirvis Law Firm as soon as possible at (718) 300-1678.

How much does a criminal defense attorney cost?

Legal fees vary depending on the complexity of the case, the charges, and the amount of work required. We offer free consultations to discuss your case and provide transparent fee information.

Can I represent myself in a criminal case?

While you have the right to represent yourself, it is strongly discouraged. Criminal cases involve complex legal procedures and serious consequences. An experienced attorney can protect your rights and achieve better outcomes.

What is the difference between state and federal charges?

State charges are prosecuted by state attorneys in state courts under Florida law. Federal charges are prosecuted by U.S. Attorneys in federal courts under federal law. Federal charges typically carry harsher penalties.

How long does a criminal case take?

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case, the charges, and whether the case goes to trial. Misdemeanor cases may resolve in a few months, while felony cases can take a year or more.

What are my rights if I'm questioned by police?

You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. You should exercise these rights immediately and contact a criminal defense lawyer before answering any questions.
