When Do I Need A Criminal Defense Attorney?

When facing the prospects of jail or prison, you should never be without an attorney. When you are charged with a crime, you may feel that you are presumed guilty. You may have been taken to jail, posted bond and now must follow the Government’s system for dealing with criminally accused. Fortunately, you are not presumed guilty. In fact you are presumed innocent.  A strong presumption that remains with you unless the government proves your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Hiring a criminal defense attorney is important to challenge the Government.  Whether guilty as charged or wrongly accused, having an attorney is essential to protect your rights, fight for your freedom and advise you throughout the entire process.

Sometimes a resolution without trial may be necessary depending on the evidence the Government has against you. Often times the government has weaknesses in their case and an attorney can articulate reasons why a case should be dismissed or a better disposition should be offered. When facing the prospects of jail or prison, you should never stand by yourself.

A criminal defense lawyer can raise the Constitutional issues evident in your case and ultimately an attorney can make the Government prove you guilty at trial. A defense attorney can protect you from the power and force of the Government. Sometimes it is necessary to hire experts to educate the prosecution and ultimately a jury. Identifying the potential Constitution and factual issues, and the possible defenses is essential to properly defend all cases.Criminal defense attorney Richard Huttner has handled thousands of cases involving both misdemeanors and felonies in both State and Federal Court.
