The importance of competent legal representation is so great that the Constitution guarantees every criminal defendant the right to an attorney.
A criminal attorney is your best asset after being charged with a crime. This expert knows the laws and court customs relevant to your case, and can apply this knowledge to protect and maximize your legal interests. No matter what your legal situation, a criminal attorney will help you more than you could help yourself by going it alone. In fact, sometimes judges won’t even consider a plea bargain from a defendant without legal representation.
