You've been arrested and you're worried about what is going to happen. You probably have questions as to what you might expect. Since I have many clients just like you, I have prepared a brief explanation of the criminal justice system which I refer to as the ABC's of Criminal Law. This is a simplified explanation provided for educational purposes only.
