Accused of a Crime? Case Types We Handle
What Does A Criminal Defense Attorney Do?
A criminal defense attorney, often simply referred to as a defense attorney, plays a crucial role in representing individuals who are accused of committing criminal offenses. Their primary responsibilities include:
- Legal Consultation: Defense attorneys provide legal advice and counsel to their clients. They explain the charges, potential consequences, and legal options, helping the accused make informed decisions about their case.
- Case Assessment: They thoroughly review the facts and evidence related to the case, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case. This evaluation helps in developing an effective defense strategy.
- Defense Strategy: Based on their case assessment, defense attorneys develop a strategic plan for the defense. This may involve challenging evidence, questioning the legality of arrests or searches, identifying witnesses, and determining the best course of action, such as negotiating a plea deal or going to trial.
