What Is The Court Process Like At Kent Superior Court?

If you face charges at Kent Superior Court, here's what will happen:

1. Arraignment: The judge reads the charges, and you enter a plea: Guilty, not guilty, or no contest. If you've hired us, we'll represent you, advise a not-guilty plea, and begin building your defense.
2. Pre-Trial: Both sides exchange evidence. We'll review everything, request relevant materials, and may file motions with Kent Superior Court to suppress evidence or dismiss charges. We'll also negotiate with prosecutors for possible plea deals or reduced charges.
3. Pre-Trial Hearings: The court reviews motions and ensures discovery is complete. You'll attend with us as we argue on your behalf and make sure everything follows the procedure.
4. Trial: If your case goes to trial, we'll select a jury, cross-examine witnesses, challenge evidence, and present your defense. The jury then delivers a verdict.
5. Sentencing: If convicted, the Kent Superior Court judge imposes a sentence based on the offense, your history, and any factors we present. You'll follow the court's requirements, such as jail time or probation.
6. Post-Trial Options: If appropriate, we can file an appeal or assist with record expungement to clear your criminal history after you've served your sentence.
