Why You Need A Criminal Defense Lawyer

When you are accused of a crime, you are at the mercy of the prosecutor whose sole goal is to charge you with the highest crime possible and prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

While the state will provide you with a public defender, having a private attorney is often the better choice. Public defenders typically have many cases and don’t have the budget and time that a private attorney can provide.

A private attorney can work on your case much more effectively with the goal of getting you the best result possible, instead of taking whatever the prosecution offers you.

It is important to have someone on your side who can examine the details of the case to find any inconsistencies, such as lack of evidence, invalid testimony or even false accusations. When you hire me, I will work with you to seek the best results possible, such as reducing the penalties you face, reducing the charges, or an outright acquittal.
