What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
As your criminal defense lawyer, a member of our team is there to walk you through every step of your case and defend you in court. There are many things our legal team can do for you.
As your attorneys, our team will do the following:
Investigate Your Case
After our initial consultation, our team will review every aspect of your case, including the evidence against you, your own statement, police reports, and witness testimonies.
Develop a Legal Strategy
No two cases are alike, so our legal strategies aren’t, either. After reviewing your case, our team will work to build your defense case and get you the outcome you deserve.
Negotiate with Prosecutors
In some cases, reaching a plea deal with prosecutors is the best way to move forward. If this is the case, our team will enter into negotiations to reduce or remove the penalties against you.
Defend You in Court
If your case does go to trial, our team will prepare a solid legal defense strategy to present before a judge. We will always aim to get your case dismissed or a verdict of not guilty.
Submit an Appeal
If you are convicted, our team can work with you through the appeals process. If a mistake was made during trial or a judge gave you a ruling unfairly, there is a chance you could go back to court for a new verdict.

When Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney?
Ideally, you should hire a criminal defense lawyer as soon as you learn about the charges you are facing. Unfortunately, using a public defender or representing yourself in court rarely results in a favorable outcome. The sooner you reach out to an attorney on our team, the faster we can review your case and begin building a defense strategy to keep you out of prison and avoid hefty fines.
Police officers and prosecutors are allowed to use anything you say to them against you in court. While it may be tempting to reach out to law enforcement on your own, doing so can make it much harder to build a defense case later on. If you have been asked to speak to police or another member of law enforcement, reach out to our team today for assistance.
How Could a Criminal Conviction Impact My Life?
With any criminal conviction, spending time in jail and paying fines are almost always possibilities. However, there are other consequences that a conviction may have on your life.
Below are some of the other ways a criminal record can affect you:
- Trouble finding a job. In many cases, employers are hesitant to hire people with criminal records. Many convicted criminals find it difficult to secure a job after they are released.
- Trouble securing housing. Similar to employers, many landlords are hesitant to rent to individuals with criminal records. You may find it challenging to find safe housing.
- Inability to own a firearm. After some criminal convictions, law enforcement no longer allows you to own or operate a firearm legally.
