Do I Need a Lawyer When I'm Charged With a Crime?


 
Do I need a lawyer when charged with a crime?  The answer is “YES, YES, and YES!!”  Never walk into a courtroom alone!!  Being charged with a crime can be a terrifying and overwhelming experience that can change the course of your life forever.  Before you even have a chance to understand what’s happening, you could be forced to make critical decisions in a situation that you may know nothing about. Making the wrong decision during your case can have very serious implications that will follow you for the rest of your life. The severity of your circumstances can be determined only with the aid of an experienced criminal defense lawyer, and only after he or she is familiar with the facts of your case, and learns about you and your life.
Remember that under the law you are to be considered innocent throughout all the stages of your case.  Whether the matter is still under investigation, or you are facing arraignment, or your case has been set for trial, you need an experienced, aggressive, and determined defense lawyer.  You need a lawyer who has no one’s back but yours; someone who will stand by your side to protect your innocence, to ensure that you are treated fairly, and to see to it that that your rights are protected.
