Great article discusses why defense attorneys continue to zealously defend people accused of crime.
People ask me the above question quite often. My answer? Everyone deserves the right to a fair trial. It’s simply un-American to assume people are guilty, lock them up, and throw away the key. There are times when the Prosecutor’s facts are weak. Witnesses lack credibility. Constitutional rights are tossed aside as police search cars, raid homes, and generally use people’s statements against them at trial.
My role is to make sure the process functions correctly. No, it’s not easy work. But it’s incredibly fulfilling.
Please contact my office if you, a friend or family member are charged with a crime. Hiring an effective and competent defense attorney is the first and best step toward justice.
