Immediately. Evidence can disappear, witnesses' memories fade, and early strategic decisions can significantly affect the outcome of your case. An attorney can also be present during police questioning, which protects your rights from the start.
Misdemeanors are less serious offenses punishable by up to one year in county jail. Felonies are more serious and can result in state prison sentences ranging from one year to life. Both can have lasting consequences on employment, housing, and civil rights, which is why having an experienced attorney matters for either.
