Protecting Your Rights

The Constitution of the United States gives everyone who is charged with a crime the right to be represented by a lawyer, which means that you too have the right to have a criminal defense attorney work on your behalf. A criminal lawyer will fight to protect your legal rights, including the right to:

• Remain silent
• Get a specific description of the crime you're being charged with
• Be presumed innocent
• Get a speedy and fair trial
• Have a jury trial, in most cases
• Testify in court on your own behalf
• Use the subpoena power of the court to compel witnesses to testify in your case
• Confront and cross-examine witnesses at your trial

What a Criminal Defense Attorney Can Do for You

In addition, whether your criminal case is based on state or federal law, your criminal defense attorney can:

•  Be with you and give you advice during a police interrogation or questioning from a prosecutor

•  Investigate the circumstances of your case, including interviewing witnesses

•  Negotiate with a prosecutor in an effort to get the charge(s) against you dismissed or reduced

•  Represent you in a probable cause hearing or other preliminary hearing as well as at a trial

•  Make the legal motions that are needed to protect your rights

•  Argue in court for a favorable sentence if you are convicted of a crime

•  Help you with probation or parole matters
