We all make mistakes, and sometimes they can land us on the wrong side of the law. Following an arrest, it is common to feel scared and alone. The months to come will include court dates, fines, and the scrutinous evaluation of prosecutors and judges. Hiring a criminal defense attorney not only provides peace of mind in the courtroom, but it can also lead to reduced sentencing or complete dismissal of the case.

More Than Just Questioning Witnesses

A criminal defense attorney has much more to offer their clients than questioning witnesses. They go to work investigating the case from all angles to best protect the defendant’s rights. From reviewing police reports to examining all pieces of evidence, they have a keen understanding of the law. If something is askew, they will quickly pick up on it and help the defendant present the best possible case.  

Plea Bargain

Prior to trial, it is not uncommon for the defendant to be offered a plea bargain, an often reduced sentence that will settle the case. While it could be in their best interest to accept, the defendant should first speak with a skilled criminal defense attorney prior to acceptance. They can determine if the accused person stands a fighting chance in court or can present an alternative to the prosecutor.  

Strong Defense

Even if a person is charged with a misdemeanor, having a strong defense is important. After all, a conviction will show up on your record and could have a negative impact on future employment opportunities. Furthermore, the defendant will be up against a group of people well-versed in law. Criminal defense attorneys use their knowledge in the law and leave no stone unturned in the discovery of elements that would otherwise likely go untouched.  

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

If you have been charged with a crime, it is important to remember that you are presumed innocent until proven guilty. An experienced criminal defense attorney is well worth the investment. From reducing fines and sentencing to possibly getting the case dismissed completely, they go to work protecting your rights.
