Bellevue Criminal Attorneys

If you have been accused of a crime, the right time to call a Bellevue criminal lawyer is now. As an accused individual, you are entitled to a number of rights by the federal government and the State of Washington – and one of the most important is the right to an attorney.

At the Law Offices of Bellevue criminal attorney Jason S. Newcombe, our criminal defense team knows your rights and how to protect you during your trial. Our experience and knowledge of the Washington State court system means that we know the best way to defend you and ensure the best possible trial outcome for you. We understand how difficult this time is for you, and we are prepared to do whatever it takes to help you win your case.

Many people think that if they have not officially been charged with a crime (only questioned by the police) that they do not need an attorney. Some are worried that asking for Bellevue criminal defense lawyers will make them appear guilty, and many end up incriminating themselves in front of the police. Some wait until after confessing or even pleading guilty to hire a criminal defense attorney.

Calling an experienced and reputable Bellevue criminal lawyer before you speak with the police prevents this. Additionally, the police may try to pressure you into allowing them to search your home or vehicle – and having your lawyer present to explain your rights will protect you completely from self-incrimination. Your lawyer will also be able to review all evidence against you to ensure that it was properly obtained, and you’ll be afforded the best guidance available to help you through the stress of a criminal trial.
