Once you’ve been released from jail, do you know what your next steps are? Coming up with a plan can be hard — especially if this is the first time you have been arrested. Everything is so confusing, and frankly, the whole process can feel incredibly disorienting.
First things first. Take a deep breath and be thankful that you don’t have to spend the time between your arrest and your trial locked behind bars. No matter how bad the situation gets, there’s always something to be thankful for.
What’s next? We’ve been in our industry for long enough to have seen pretty much everything. While we’re not lawyers, therapists, or life coaches, we are happy to share what we’ve learned throughout the years in order to help our clients find ways to succeed. If you’ve found yourself in this situation and you’re not sure what you should be doing, we’ll be sharing more in today’s post, so keep reading to learn more.
What Can You Do Before Your Trial?
Speak With Your Lawyer
It’s advice that we’ve shared on our website before, but it always bears repeating — make sure you are in frequent contact with your lawyer. He or she can help you to come up with a strategy that is appropriate for your specific situation. One of the best things about the legal system in the United States is that if you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you. Although these people generally get a bad rap, the truth is that they’re always hard at work behind the scenes to find a resolution that is in your best interest.
Read Up on Similar Cases
Another great way to spend your time is to do research into cases that are similar to yours. Read newspaper articles at the nearest library, find books on similar subjects, research court cases on Oahu and in other parts of the country, and learn as much as you possibly can about what you can expect. It might initially feel intimidating to read about how much time a person was sentenced to after being convicted of committing a crime similar to what you’re being charged with, but the truth is that the more information you have, the better off you’ll be.
Once you’ve learned a bit, take advantage of our first piece of advice again and speak with your lawyer about what you know. He or she may be able to utilize some of the information that you’ve uncovered.
Spend Time With People Who Care For You
Last, but certainly not least, we’d definitely recommend spending time with the people who care about you. There’s nothing in the world like feeling loved, encouraged, and supported when you’re facing a difficult situation, and we have seen firsthand the positive difference this can make. It takes what would otherwise feel draining and discouraging and turns it into a bonding experience. Whether it’s friends, coworkers, or family members, make it a point to enjoy some time with the people that you care about the most. If you were previously in a place where your friends weren’t good for you, don’t go back; instead, push forward and seek out the people who want to nourish you with kindheartedness and positivity.
