Most Americans live their entire lives without ever being charged with a serious crime. But those who do face criminal charges quickly see that the prospect of incarceration, fines, and a permanent criminal conviction is very frightening. They are confused and do not know where to turn. The choice of legal representation is instrumental in avoiding the harsh consequences of an arrest. A good defense attorney provides the following in developing a defense:
A painstaking and informed review of the evidence—including police reports, witness statements, forensic evidence and other key items. A thorough review of the evidence prepares the attorney for every contingency his client may face during a trial or plea discussions.
An intuitive instinct for how jurors respond to evidence and testimony.
A solid grasp of the rules and procedures of court are required. This allows the attorney to sometimes exclude harmful evidence of his client’s guilt.
Successful plea-bargaining is essential when it is in the client’s best interest to avoid trial.
I bring all of these important skills to my clients because I work on criminal cases every day. I am in court every week representing the interests of my clients and I handle hundreds of criminal cases each year. I limit my practice to criminal defense so that I can stay in touch with the current developments in the law and science of criminal defense. I understand that this is the most serious accusation you have every faced.
