What Can A Defense Attorney Do?

While no Attorney or Law Firm can make any guarantee or outcome of a Case (in fact if during your search for an attorney you have a Firm promising you any result be highly suspect), the fact is the State has an attorney on their side shouldn’t you as well?

When an officer, and subsequently a prosecutor, brings a criminal charge against someone many don’t realize that the prosecution actually carries the burden and the requirement to have to prove the case and the elements of each charge. Unfortunately, far too often those that are facing the serious charges choose to not get a defense attorney on their side, and instead go it alone, usually ending up just pleading guilty to all charges early on in the case. Although it is their absolute right to do so, what this usually does is allow the State to not have to prove anything and that the person now has a life-long criminal record without anyone even looking into whether the charges were ever valid or if the person even committed the crime in the first place. That’s not how our system was meant to work, someone who is charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty.
