I was represented by Doug Baxter of the Hunsucker Legal Group for my DUI case. I would definitely recommend Hunsucker Legal Group to anyone going through a DUI case. I'm happy to say that I now have my life back and thanks to the job that Doug did I can start anew. Thank you so much for the knowledge and hope you gave me through this entire thing.

We went to court prepared and ready to argue the criminal case when The DA instead conceded the motion and dismissed my case. The office kept the line of communication open & answered all my questions in a timely manner. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing legal assistance.

How Your Court Dates Will Work
A typical criminal case will usually consist of the following:
There are several steps, and multiple court dates, between the initial arrest or indictment and the final verdict. At every step of the way, your attorney will be pressing every advantage to give you the best possible outcome.
-
This is the initial court appearance in which the defendant will have the criminal charges against them read aloud. At this stage, the defendant has the option of entering a plea, either guilty or not guilty. We always plead our clients not guilty.
-
Preliminary hearings are only available for felony cases. Once a plea of not guilty has been entered, the court will reconvene for a preliminary hearing to ensure that sufficient evidence exists to proceed to trial. Essentially a smaller version of the criminal trial, this hearing will allow prosecution to present evidence and witnesses to the judge. More crucially, it will allow your defense attorney to challenge that evidence and cross-examine those witnesses. Once the judge has heard from both sides, they will determine whether to dismiss the case or proceed to trial.
-
If the judge in the preliminary hearing does agree to move ahead with a criminal case, the prosecution and defense will meet next to negotiate any settlement or plea bargain that could keep a trial from happening. Occasionally, the judge may also play a role in the pretrial conference, ruling on matters of evidence or establishing deadlines for any motions that either side would look to file.
-
If there are no plea agreements or settlements, and if all parties are satisfied that a trial can move forward fairly, the main trial will begin. It is at this stage that both prosecution and defense will present arguments, evidence and witnesses to a judge or jury. At the end, the defendant will either be found guilty or not guilty.
