Criminal Charges We Defend in Weston

Our firm defends clients facing a wide range of criminal charges in Weston, from misdemeanors to more serious felony allegations, providing dedicated representation at every stage of the criminal process. 

How Cases Move Through Broward County’s 17th Judicial Circuit

Criminal cases arising in Weston generally proceed through Broward County’s 17th Judicial Circuit

The process often begins with an arrest, booking, and, when a person remains in custody, a first appearance hearing. In Broward County, first appearance typically occurs within 24 hours of an arrest. At that hearing, a judge may review probable cause, address bond or other release conditions, and impose conditions such as a no-contact order when appropriate.

After the State Attorney’s Office reviews the case and formal charges are filed, the next stage may include an arraignment. At arraignment, the defendant is advised of the charges and enters a plea. Depending on the case and whether the defendant has counsel, an attorney may be able to file a written plea and waive the client’s personal appearance.

From there, a criminal case may involve discovery, pretrial conferences, motions, negotiations, hearings, and, if necessary, a trial. The timeline and available options depend on the charge, the evidence, whether the person is in custody, prior criminal history, and the facts of the individual case.

Novo Law can review the allegations, explain the court process, and develop a defense strategy based on your circumstances. Call Novo Law at (954) 822-5198 to discuss your case with a criminal defense attorney.

What to Do If You Are Arrested in Weston

If you are arrested in Weston, remain calm and take steps to protect your rights:

  1. Do not physically resist. Stay calm, follow lawful instructions, and avoid arguing or struggling with law enforcement.
  2. Clearly invoke your right to remain silent. You can state, “I am exercising my right to remain silent and I want to speak with an attorney.”
  3. Ask for an attorney. After requesting counsel, avoid answering questions about the allegations until you have received legal advice.
  4. Do not give a voluntary written or recorded statement without legal advice. Ask to speak with an attorney before agreeing to an interview, waiver, consent form, or other substantive statement.
  5. Do not discuss the facts of your case with other people. Calls and conversations with friends, family members, or other detainees may be recorded, monitored, or later used as evidence. Communications with your attorney are generally confidential.

Contact Novo Law at (954) 822-5198 as soon as you can. Early legal guidance can help you understand the allegations, learn what may happen next, and make informed decisions about your defense.
