Common Questions for Hutchinson and Huffman, P.A.
Let us examine a few of the most common questions that we receive here at Hutchinson and Huffman, P.A.
How Do I Know if I Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
If you are being interviewed, questioned or investigated by police, or if you have been arrested on criminal charges, you can benefit from working with one of the experienced West Palm Beach defense lawyers with Hutchinson and Huffman, P.A.
Many are hesitant to contact a criminal defense lawyer before they have been arrested, but the reality is that many arrests can be avoided entirely if you hire legal representation early in the process. In cases where an arrest does occur, the trajectory of your case can be altered in your favor quite significantly. Even someone who is totally innocent of any wrong-doing may say the wrong thing and that remark could be misconstrued or taken out of context in a way that could be harmful at trial. So by hiring a seasoned lawyer early on to help you with any police dealings, you can minimize the chances of causing legal troubles.
Once you have been arrested, anything you say (and even do) can and will be used against you, so at this time, it becomes even more important to hire an attorney who can look out for your interests and protect your future.
What Types of Criminal Cases Do You Defend?
At Hutchinson and Huffman, P.A., we handle a wide variety of criminal cases, ranging from a simple and relatively minor misdemeanor to the most serious, stigmatized felonies.

- Sex crimes such as sexual battery, rape, unlawful sex with a minor, or sexual misconduct;
- White collar crimes, such as fraud and embezzlement; and
- Domestic violence cases, including domestic assault and battery.
How Much Will It Cost to Hire a Defense Lawyer?
