Our Dedicated Legal Team Is Here for You Every Step of the Way

Here are the various steps of the judicial process in Indiana:

  • Arrest – This is when you formally face criminal charges. Police may require an arrest warrant. 
  • Screening – District Attorneys prepare investigative reports that help determine whether to charge you with a crime. 
  • Initial hearing – At your hearing, you are informed of the charges against you and enter an initial plea.
  • Discovery – You learn the evidence the prosecution plans to use against you, as well as evidence that weighs in your favor.  
  • Pre-trial conference – Your criminal defense lawyer and the prosecutor may explain unresolved issues in your case in a pre-trial conference with the judge assigned to your case. 
  • Plea agreement – The prosecutor may offer a lighter sentence or reduction in charges in exchange for a guilty plea.  
  • Trial – A criminal defense attorney defends you and holds the prosecution to their high burden of proof if you decide to proceed with a trial.
