  • What is the difference between being charged for a state or federal crime?

    The difference between being charged for a state or federal crime lies within the jurisdiction, the laws, the state the person was charged in, the investigators and prosecutors, the jurors, and the appeals process. If you have been charged with a federal or state crime, contact our criminal attorney today.

  • When I was arrested, no one read me my rights. Can the charges be dismissed?

    Unfortunately, the charges will not be completely dismissed if your rights were not read to you. Many people know this as their Miranda warning or Miranda rights. Instead, failure to give a Miranda warning could result in whatever incriminating statement was made by a client to law enforcement after the arrest being kept from the jury.


    If you have found yourself in this predicament, don't hesitate to contact The Ford Law Firm today. Our criminal lawyer will fight for you.

  • The police are investigating a possible sex crime and law enforcement has contacted me, asking to talk or maybe even take a statement. Should I do it?

    No, you should not do it. If law enforcement has contacted you for this reason, you may be a possible criminal suspect in their sex crime investigation. Whether you are the suspect or not, you should not speak to police without your criminal attorney present. If you need the assistance of a criminal defense lawyer, don't hesitate to reach out to The Ford Law Firm today.

  • How expensive is it to hire a criminal defense lawyer?

    At The Ford Law Firm, we do not believe it is fair to charge clients a flat rate, large sum fee, regardless of the nature of the case. Our criminal attorney evaluates each case individually before a fee is requested. If the case can be resolved before the public record is involved, then our firm will not charge for courtroom time. Instead, a smaller retainer is initially requested. If the case becomes more serious and a trial will happen, a second retainer will be required. Contact our team for more information on our process or to schedule a consultation.
