Understanding the Criminal Defense Process in San Bernardino
Most criminal cases begin with an arrest by the San Bernardino Police Department or the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department. After booking, defendants appear for arraignment, typically at the San Bernardino Justice Center.
At arraignment:
-
Charges are formally presented
-
A plea is entered
-
Bail or release conditions are set
From there, cases proceed throughpre-trial motions, evidence review, negotiations, and—if necessary—trial. Decisions made early in the process can dramatically impact the outcome, making early legal representation critical.
