Tips


What should I wear to court?

Despite seeing people at the court house in all different types of attire, a judge will make an initial determination of a person based on their appearance. Therefore, you need to wear respectful, appropriate, and modest clothing to all court settings. If your case is going to trial consult with Ms. AuClair as to what you should wear during trial. 


Punctuality 

Being on time to any type of court setting is of paramount importance. Judges lack tolerance for those who arrive to court late. Some judges may order their bailiff to take a defendant into custody if they are late for a court setting. 


What are the costs of consulting with a lawyer? 

At the AuClair Law Firm we offer a free consultation either in person or by phone. Depending on your charge we offer fixed rates and flexible payment plans. We accepts all major credit cards. Contact us to set up a consultation. 


Can I represent myself if I have been charged with a misdemeanor? 

Yes, by law you can represent yourself if you have been charged with a crime. However, it is strongly advised that you seek legal representation. It is important to understand that a misdemeanor can still carry significant and long term repercussions.  By hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney, you arm yourself with someone who is trained to look at the specific facts, laws, and determine the best course of action to take in your unique situation. Contact the AuClair Law Firm and let us make your legal problem our priority.
