Criminal Defense
One of the most fundamental principles of our criminal justice system is the presumption of innocence. In other words, we hold that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. Criminal defense law ensures this principle and others afforded to us by the U.S. Constitution are protected. Without the guarding of these principles, the justice system would favor the government, and those accused of committing a crime would not receive the fair and just outcome to which they are entitled.
The primary role of a criminal defense attorney is to act as an unwavering advocate of the accused. They defend and safeguard their client’s rights and pursue solely what is in their best interests. Criminal defense attorneys provide their clients with guidance and support by helping them understand the steps of the criminal process, their legal options, and all potential outcomes. They also help their clients deal with the fear and frustration often faced during this challenging process.
Attorneys who qualify for verification have handled a minimum of 25 criminal cases and are subject to annual re-verification to confirm their good standing.
