How can a Criminal Defense Attorney Help?

We do not just represent you while you are in the courtroom. Defense attorneys represent you through all stages of the process. This includes when you are being interrogated by police. We preserve your rights and the integrity of your defense before law enforcement can begin chipping away at it.

While it may feel like you are guilty before the verdict has been read, the prosecutor who is trying your case must still prove their claims beyond a reasonable doubt. In many instances, those who were caught in the commission of a crime are overcharged for that crime so that the prosecution can plead you down to a lesser offense and make it seem like you are getting a deal. Only a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney can determine the strength of the prosecution’s case and ensure that you aren’t overcharged or being railroaded on flimsy evidence.
