What is Criminal Defense?

Criminal defense refers to your legal representation in trial when indicted of a crime. However, criminal defense attorneys work with you from the very beginning of the legal process, representing your legal rights to law enforcement and building a strong case for your defense. They also help you make tough decisions throughout the arraignment and trial process, such as bargaining for plea deals among others.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?

Criminal defense attorneys do not just represent you in trial, they help you throughout the legal process. If you are the suspect of a crime, it is time for you to seek legal representation. Your attorney will help protect your legal rights during questioning by law enforcement to ensure you don’t engage in self-incrimination or fall for manipulative tactics. Your attorney helps you every step of the way, such as bargaining for how you will await trial, including advocating for reasonable bail. Don’t go through any steps of the criminal legal process without proper legal representation.
