Your best bet would be engage for him any good criminal defense attorney. Being charged does not mean that he will be convicted, but it certainly does mean he will have to defend himself

You should retain a good criminal lawyer and ignore anything that your finance tells you about the case and find out what really happened. Most people are guilty but tell their family that they are innocent. Although a few people are actually innocent, you certainly cannot rely on what a defendant has to say. Have the lawyer do an investigation into the matter and ask him what happened. If he is innocent, and that is possible, there should be proof of that which can be discovered. I wish my juries were made up of friends, family, and baby mommas.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. First of all, since we do not have all the facts, such as what he is being charged with, it is not really possible to answer with complete accuracy. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your boyfriend's case. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze his case and advise you of his options.

Hire a good lawyer for him, and preferably soon before he opens his mouth to the wrong folks and incriminates himself further.

Of course, you should retain an experienced, criminal defense attorney to help you evaluate and analyse this case, and plan his Courtroom strategy. If your fiancee did not do anything wrong, then he should not plead guilty to anything, but rather, find all of the evidence that proves he's not guilty, and discuss with the D.A. and Judge right away. An experienced attorney can greatly help you both to start moving this case in the right direction.

Hire an attorney for him. It is either that or wait for the public defender to be appointed, and wait for a bond hearing so that he can get out. Private attorneys can move swiftly to get the bond reduced. They also usually have the time to devote individually to the charges and the client.

You should hire a lawyer that will discuss and review all charges and evidence. Look for possible defenses, mistakes and incorrect information contained in the reports. The lawyer should be able to explain the entire process along with the different options your fiance will have and the advantages and disadvantages of both.

Your response is common: "My fiance didn't do it". How do you know? What facts do you have to support your statement. You also do not say anything about what the felonies are. What can you do? Probably little. What can your fiance do? Get an attorney.

Retain an experienced criminal defense law firm in the county where the charges are pending. If your fiance is indigent she can ask for a public defender to represent her. However, at the end of the case the court will conduct a hearing to determine how much she must pay back the county for using the public defender. In addition due to the very large caseloads most public defenders are dealing with most people would prefer to have an experienced private criminal defense lawyer representing their loved one as opposed to a public defender.

Contact a lawyer or if you have no funds. Have him ask for a Public Defender when he goes to court for the first appearance.
