Orange Beach Municipal Court Criminal Defense Lawyer, Jordan M. Copeland provides experienced criminal defense and expungement representation for locals and visitors in the Orange Beach, Alabama Municipal Court. Many thousands of people each year vacation to the beautiful beaches of Orange Beach, Alabama. Unfortunately, many people on vacation or spring break in Orange Beach may find themselves in a circumstance that results in them being arrested and charged with a misdemeanor or other violation in the Orange Beach Municipal Court.
If you are a local or visitor to Orange Beach, Alabama and are facing criminal charges, don't be that person that just pleads guilty "to get it over with" or tries to represent themselves in court. After defending hundreds of clients against felony and misdemeanor charges in Alabama and spending hundreds of hours in court - nothing makes a criminal defense lawyer cringe more than for a criminal defendant to waive their constitutional right to an attorney and plead guilty without being represented. In many cases, a criminal defense lawyer in Orange Beach Municipal Court may help you resolve your case in a manner that benefits you and that you were unaware was an option.
As a part of our Alabama Expungement and Pardon area of law practice, I talk with many potential clients every week that regret just walking into a Municipal or District Court somewhere in Alabama and pleading guilty "just to get it over with". Now, they are dealing with a misdemeanor criminal record that is having a negative impact on their future. If you live in or out of the Orange Beach, Alabama area and have pending charges in Orange Beach Municipal Court or Baldwin County, feel free to contact Orange Beach and Baldwin County Criminal
Defense Attorney, Jordan M. Copeland to discuss legal representation.
You do not want to be that person that goes into the Orange Beach Municipal Court without a lawyer and waives their right to a lawyer, pleads guilty to a misdemeanor that ends up having a negative impact on your future. One day that misdemeanor conviction could prevent you from obtaining a certain job, lock you out from a potential career path, prevent you from being accepted to a certain college, or prevent you from being licensed in a particular field. Many people are also not aware that a conviction of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence will result in the person being prohibited from possessing or owning a firearm under Alabama and Federal law.
As an experienced Alabama criminal defense attorney in the Orange Beach area, we unfortunately see a lot of people in a lot of court rooms on misdemeanor dockets that do not retain an attorney and just try to deal with their case on their own because they "just want to get it over with" or "they told me if I plea guilty I will stay out of jail". We encourage people facing misdemeanor charges in Orange Beach or surrounding areas in Baldwin County to discuss your case with a criminal defense attorney to know all your rights and options in your particular case. Keep in mind this thought, "you don't know what you don't know" - meaning if you have a pending charge in Orange Beach or Baldwin County, Alabama and do not seek to retain a criminal defense lawyer for legal representation, how are you going to defend, negotiate, know your options, or prepare your case for court? Have you seen any evidence that the prosecutor or law enforcement may have in your case? Do you know what problems the evidence may present for the prosecutor in the case? Do you have any legal grounds to possibly prevent evidence from being used against you in your case? These are just a few things a criminal defense lawyer can provide you with in representation of your case outside of court, not to mention in court.
On the point of hiring a criminal defense lawyer if you are facing criminal charges, I like to use the following analogy: if you think you broke your arm you would not just sit at home and hope it gets better, you would go to a hospital to seek medical care. If the doctor examines your arm and he/she determines your arm is broken, you would not go home and try to put a cast on it yourself. Similarly, if you get charged with a crime in Orange Beach or Baldwin County, Alabama, you should not try to defend your case yourself or just try to "get it over with".
