(SALEM, Ore.) - Life is full of unexpected events that have unintended consequences. Finding yourself on the wrong side of the law can be a terrifying experience if you are unprepared to handle the situation.

Fortunately, there are legal professionals available to assist you with any representation you may need. Here are five examples of situations where you will require legal counsel and how working with a criminal defense resource can help your case.

  • If Your Animal Has Attacked Someone
    Do you own a dog? Most cities require owners to leash their animals while they are out in local common areas such as parks. However, owners still release their animals from the safety of their leash on occasion. In rare circumstances, your animal could attack someone if they feel threatened or stressed.
    This event could end up with someone charging you with grievous bodily harm or another related charge toward the negligent handling of your animal. In this case, you would be liable for medical costs and damages to property. Having a lawyer on hand to help you handle the legal process will help you settle out of court if possible.
  • If You Have Been Arrested for a Crime
    If you have been arrested for a crime, then you will require legal counsel to help you represent yourself in court. Hundreds of people are wrongfully arrested each day, and if you feel your arrest has caused an inconvenience in your life, a lawyer can help you pursue a case against your accuser for wrongful arrest.
  • If you Have Been Wrongly Accused of a Crime
    Many people have been wrongfully accused of a crime. This situation can end up with you receiving a criminal record if you are convicted. A criminal record will hamper your ability to assimilate into the workforce, with many prospective employers turning down your skills due to your legal status.
    You can seek restitution for lost income and have your name tarnished due to a wrongful accusation. Speak to a lawyer about your case; they will be able to tell you if you have a case and whether it is worth pursuing.
  • If You Are Involved in a Fatal Car Accident
    Vehicles are dangerous modes of transport, and it’s quite possible that you may be involved in a car crash that results in a fatality. No-one deserves to experience this unfortunate event. However, it's best to be prepared if it does happen to you. Call your attorney and then call the police. Legal advice will be critical to constructing your defense and presenting your argument in court.
  • If You Have Been Assaulted
    In our civilized social structure, being assaulted is a severe offense. If you have been on the wrong end of an assault, then you can use a lawyer to help you lay a charge against your attacker. Your attorney will complete the necessary process and paperwork to ensure that your attacker is arrested and prevented from doing you any further harm.

Wrapping Up
If you feel that your situation requires legal attention, consider hiring a talented, committed legal team to help you handle your case. Professionals have years of experience working in the criminal justice system.

This experience allows them to guide you through the process of your case, taking care of the details for you and eliminating any stress or anxiety that may come as a result of trying to handle your affairs.

When push comes to shove, you may be in need of a quick loan. The first place to turn is often family members, which is a worthy choice if things are handled properly, complete with a re-payment agreement. If that's not possible, take the time to research.

There is a myriad of online loans to peruse. Look for a website that will help you get that loan quickly and easily, so you are ready to choose your representation with confidence.

These tips will help ensure that you receive the best and most affordable criminal defense attorney.
