What Do Criminal Defense Lawyers Do?

A criminal defense lawyer specializes in defending individuals or organizations charged with criminal offenses. Our primary responsibility is to protect our client's rights and ensure they receive a fair trial. To accomplish this, a defense attorney will investigate the charges against their client, examine the evidence, and interview witnesses to build a strong defense. We will also advise our clients about their legal rights and options and explain the possible results from different courses of action. If the evidence against our client is strong, we may negotiate with the prosecution to secure a plea bargain, which could result in reduced charges or a lighter sentence.

Additionally, if the case goes to trial, a criminal defense attorney will represent their client in court, presenting arguments and evidence to defend them against the charges. We will cross-examine witnesses and challenge the prosecution's evidence to raise doubts about the case against our client. A criminal defense lawyer will work tirelessly to ensure that their client's constitutional rights are protected and that they receive a fair trial under the law.

It doesn’t matter how minor or major the charges against you may be; a conviction is likely to have a lasting impact on your life.
