Why You Should Hire a Criminal Attorney
One of the first decisions you will make when facing criminal charges is whether you should hire a criminal defense attorney. There are several reasons why hiring a criminal defense lawyer is beneficial, including:
- They understand the legal system - An experienced defense lawyer understands the ins-and-outs of the court system and can guide you through the legal process.
- They have built relationships with prosecutors - Although it may seem counterintuitive to develop a good relationship with the opposing counsel, it can actually positively affect the outcome of your case. For example, this relationship may allow them to negotiate a better plea deal or negotiate an affordable bond.
- They have experience with similar cases - There’s a good chance that an experienced criminal lawyer has dealt with situations very much like yours and knows what to do to provide you with the best possible outcome.
- They can save you money - Getting the best possible sentencing for your case could prevent you from losing your job or your professional license. Even without losing your job, serving a sentence or sitting through extended court proceedings could cause financial strain.
- They can protect your future - If your charges get reduced, it’ll keep a felony off your record and prevent you from risking your career. If your penalties are reduced, it can keep you out of jail and save you from losing your job. If your case is dismissed entirely, any negative consequences from a criminal conviction will no longer be an issue.
