Why you need a Lawyer
Criminal charges can lead to serious consequences. Those consequences could include substantial fines, loss of civil rights, loss of parental rights, deportation and substantial time in prison. Among many other duties, an attorney's key role is to use their experience and knowledge to protect their clients against these life changing consequences. To put yourself in the best position to fight against these consequences you don't just need any attorney, you need an attorney who has years of experience handling criminal cases within that specific court system, knowledge of the laws that apply to your case and the ability to negotiate with the Court and the Prosecution. Finally, hiring an attorney who possesses these attributes isn't enough; that attorney needs to be willing and able to put those attributes to work for you and relentlessly fight for the minimization of those life changing consequences.
