What is arraignment?

Arraignment is a phase in criminal procedure where the court reads the formal charges that the state of Florida has brought against you.  This is the time when you, with the assistance and advice of your hired criminal defense attorney will enter a plea of not guilty, no contest or guilty.  Arraignment is a critical phase in the criminal system and should never be attended without the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney.  You usually have several weeks between the date of arrest and the arraignment to speak with and hire an affordable and skillful criminal defense attorney.

Outstanding service from lawyer Grant Ian Schwarz.

Lawyer Grant Ian Schwarz provides outstanding service. I recently hired him for my case earlier this year and on the day of the trial it got dismissed with ease. Not only did that case get dismissed but my first case three years ago got dismissed as well with Grant by my side. Mr.Schwarz is a reliable lawyer who I would recommend to anybody having any sort of legal issues. Grant is an extremely caring lawyer who will answer all questions that you have and will respond to any e-mails, texts, or phone calls that you send his direction. I cannot forget to mention his confidence in the courtroom is amazing and it truly shows his greatness. Grant Ian Schwarz is the right lawyer for you. Thank you for everything Grant.
