Dismissed! Now Who Is Going Reimburse My Expenses?
"Who will reimburse my lawyer's fees when my case is dismissed?
Regularly, I have clients ask me some form of that question. The sad truth is despite being falsely accused and eventually getting their case dismissed for the accused there really is nothing set up in our current criminal judicial system that will give someone the opportunity to seek reimbursement of the expenses associated with defending a criminal case. Perhaps the government should be held monetarily accountable for cases that are later to be found lacking credible evidence. If the Government is more accountable less cases will be accepted where a person finds it necessary to spend thousands of dollars to properly defend themselves.
