Criminal Investigations: Protect Your Rights from the Start

Being under investigation for a crime in Alabama can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. If you believe you're being investigated for a crime, it's essential to contact a criminal defense attorney immediately. Your Fifth Amendment rights allow you to remain silent and request legal counsel if questioned by law enforcement.

Remember: Anything you say can be used against you.

Even if you're just under investigation, speaking to the police without a lawyer present can severely impact your case. By invoking your right to an attorney, all questioning must stop until your attorney is present, protecting you from making statements that could later be used against you in court.

Many cases are won or lost during the initial investigation phase. Having an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side before formal charges are filed can make all the difference in your case. At Dixon Law, LLC, we're ready to provide early intervention and defense strategies that may prevent charges or lead to a favorable outcome.


Charged with a Crime? Time to Act Fast

Once you've been charged with a crime in Alabama, you must hire a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The sooner we can begin working on your case, the quicker we can gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and prepare a defense that works in your favor. Early legal intervention is critical for building a strong defense and protecting your rights throughout the legal process.

If you cannot afford an attorney, you may be eligible to request a public defender. However, public defenders are often overburdened with cases, and their resources are limited. For the best chance at a favorable outcome, we recommend hiring an experienced private criminal defense lawyer.

At Dixon Law, LLC, we provide diligent, focused defense strategies that are tailored to your case. We work tirelessly to ensure your rights are upheld and fight aggressively to minimize penalties.


Convicted of a Crime? You Have Legal Options

Even if you have been convicted of a crime, there are still options available. In Alabama, you have 30 days from your sentencing to file a motion to alter, amend, or vacate your sentence, or to request a new trial. Additionally, you have 42 days from your sentencing to file a notice of appeal with the Court of Criminal Appeals.

The window for filing these motions is limited, so it's crucial to act quickly. If you believe your conviction was unjust or that your previous attorney made errors during your trial, you may have grounds for an appeal. Working with an experienced appellate lawyer is essential to securing a fair trial and safeguarding your future.

Don't wait—contact us immediately after your conviction to discuss your options and pursue an appeal if necessary.
