If you are asking
yourself whether to consult an attorney regarding a Criminal Defense
matter, it is quite likely that you do need an attorney. A qualified
attorney, familiar with the facts of your case, is essential to determining
your need for representation. An experienced Criminal Defense attorney
works to ensure that your rights are fully protected and that evidence is
fairly presented in court.
Criminal Defense
attorneys evaluate evidence and determine if the government can prove its
case. In some cases, an attorney’s advocacy on your behalf may lead to
charges being dropped, or, incases under investigation, never filed. Only
with the help of a qualified Criminal Defense attorney can you evaluate the
likely success of the government proving guilt as a result of trial.
Criminal Defense attorneys can employ many strategies, such as
investigation, expert witnesses and effective pre-trial motions in building
a winning case on your behalf. Your attorney is essential in negotiating
plea agreements and fair sentencing.
If you are
questioned by the police do not speak with them or sign anything. You have
a right to legal representation. The decision to speak with authorities
about a criminal matter is complex and can have far-reaching consequences.
It is a decision that should only be made in consultation with an
experienced Criminal Defense attorney.
