Stages of a Criminal Case and the Legal Process

The legal process of a criminal case can be complex and full of unpleasant surprises. Still, the process develops in a series of stages, from the arrest to the point before or after trial. A criminal case in Florida may proceed in the following stages:

  • Arrest
  • Bail
  • Initial appearance
  • Preliminary hearing
  • Pre-trial motions
  • Trial
  • Sentencing
  • Appeal

Not all criminal cases proceed as outlined above. Some cases end when a defendant accepts a plea bargain.

Understanding the criminal prosecution process can feel daunting when you have your freedom, finances, and reputation to worry about. But don’t fret; our criminal defense lawyer will guide you through every step, ensuring you’re fully informed and prepared at each stage.
