UNDERSTANDING THE CRIMINAL PROCESS
Superior Court
After the preliminary hearing, there is a second arraignment in Superior Court. The procedure is similar to the Municipal Court arraignment in that the defendant enters a plea and bail may be reviewed.

PRE-FILE ALERT:
Don't Wait Until You Are Arrested!

If you even suspect that you may be charged with a crime, speak to an attorney now!

Very often before formal charges are filed, there is an investigation. Law enforcement tries to gather as much evidence as possible to build their case against you. This is the pre-file stage of a case.

This pre-file period can be the most crucial stage of a criminal case. Since you haven't been arrested, you don't have any Miranda Rights. This is when most people fall into law enforcement traps designed to destroy their legal case.

APPEALS ALERT!
Blakely v. Washington May
Give You a Second Chance

If you or someone you know was sentenced after 1998 (if the conviction was appealed) or 2000 (if there was no appeal), the new United States Supreme Court decision in Blakely vs. Washington may provide a second change to review your sentence!
