How Can a Criminal Defense Attorney Help Me?

If you have been arrested and charged with a crime, you may be wondering if you really need to hire a criminal defense attorney. While it is true that you are not legally required to retain legal representation, it is highly recommended that you do so. An experienced Orinda criminal defense lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights every step of the way.

Here are just a few of the many ways a criminal defense attorney can help you:

  • Investigating Your Case: An attorney can conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding your arrest, including the actions of the police. They can work to uncover any potential evidence that can be used to challenge the prosecution’s case against you.
  • Exploring Your Legal Options: Your attorney can help you understand your legal options and guide you through the entire process. They can help you understand the charges you are facing and the potential penalties you may be up against. They can also help you understand the best ways to proceed in your case.
  • Negotiating with the Prosecution: In some cases, your attorney may be able to negotiate with the prosecution to have your charges reduced or dismissed. If you are facing criminal charges, you need a skilled negotiator on your side to fight for the best interests of you and your family.
  • Protecting Your Rights: An attorney can ensure that your rights are not being violated at any point during the legal process. They can make sure that the police followed proper procedure when arresting you and that they did not violate your constitutional rights in any way.
  • Defending You in Court: If your case goes to court, your attorney can represent you in front of a judge and jury. They can present evidence on your behalf and argue your case in an effort to obtain a “not guilty” verdict.
