Frequently Asked Questions

When do you need a personal injury lawyer?

As soon as you or a loved one is injured or killed in an automobile collision, fire, carbon monoxide incident, or other disaster it is a really good idea to retain an experienced Lafayette personal injury lawyer.

A personal injury lawyer can gather and properly preserve evidence before it disappears, advise you on whether or not to make a recorded statement, hire an investigator or expert when it is appropriate, determine what sources of insurance coverage may be available, and negotiate with insurance companies, including your own health insurance company, for you.

Even when you think it is crystal clear that an incident is someone’s fault it is wise to consult a personal injury lawyer because the other side will frequently still fight being held responsible, multiple people may be making claims against the defendant, and your health insurance company may try to take all of the compensation which should go to you.

When do you need a criminal defense lawyer?

It is best to contact a criminal defense lawyer before you have been arrested. Or as soon as you think you might be arrested. Do not accept an invitation from police to have a “nice little chat.” Speak with an experienced criminal defense lawyer first! If you have already been arrested an experienced criminal defense lawyer can advise family members about the best way to post bail. The sooner you retain a criminal defense lawyer, the sooner the lawyer can gather relevant information. Including contacting the prosecutor who will be asking a judge to issue a warrant for your arrest and trying to convict you.

How many crimes can I have expunged?

You may have an unlimited number of criminal convictions removed from your record through expungement. However, you can only file one petition for expungement in your lifetime. Further, if you have convictions in more than one county in Indiana, you must file separate petitions in those counties within 365 days of one another. You must meet these strict deadlines, or you will risk having all of your applications denied.

 

What is a misdemeanor?

Misdemeanors are considered lesser offenses than felonies because their penalties are generally lower. However, penalties for Class A, B, or C misdemeanors can still be serious. In general, a misdemeanor offense will result in one year or less in jail and fines of up to $5,000. The class of your misdemeanor will guide your sentencing. Examples of misdemeanors include possession of a small amount of marijuana or operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI/DUI). A criminal defense attorney at Hall-Justice Law Firm LLC can help if you’re facing a misdemeanor charge.

What is a felony?

A felony is typically more serious than a misdemeanor and can result in more than one year in prison. In Indiana, a felony may be a Level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Level 6 felonies are often called “wobblers” and may also be charged as a misdemeanor. You may face anywhere between one year in prison up to a lifetime of incarceration. Felonies include crimes such as involuntary manslaughter, rape, and grand theft. A felony conviction can impact every aspect of your life. Contact our criminal defense lawyers for help.

Car Accidents In West Lafayette, Indiana

We know how overwhelming a serious accident can be. We’re here to work closely with you, from your first consultation to the final outcome.

Car Accidents In West Lafayette, Indiana

With thousands of collisions reported each year on busy roads like Sagamore Parkway and I-65, car accidents remain one of the leading causes of injury in Tippecanoe County. Many of these accidents result in serious injuries, costly medical bills, and long periods away from work. In addition to traditional car crashes, the rise of distracted driving, increased traffic from Purdue University events, and ongoing construction throughout the county have added to the risks drivers face daily.

Insurance companies are often quick to minimize payouts, leaving injured victims struggling to cover expenses and move forward with their lives. These pressures make it difficult for individuals and families to recover fairly on their own. That is why working with an experienced local attorney matters. Our West Lafayette, IN car accident lawyer has spent decades standing up to insurance companies and helping people throughout Tippecanoe County seek the compensation they need after devastating crashes.

The law can seem impossibly complicated sometimes. Most of us don’t know how the law works or how lawyers go about using it. Our experience is limited to what we see on TV shows. We might have heard terms like “personal injury,” “plaintiff,” and “mediation,” but we don’t really know what they mean.
