Why Do I Need to Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney if I Have Been Charged With a Crime?
One of the most substantial benefits of hiring a defense attorney is safeguarding your legal rights and helping you avoid the repercussions of a criminal record. One of the first steps an experienced attorney will take when they agree to take your case is to evaluate the evidence the state has against you.
Based on the strengths and weaknesses of the case, your lawyer will work to create a solid defense strategy to help you protect your freedom and reputation.
Depending on the circumstances of the case, your attorney can argue that the charges should be dismissed or reduced or file legal motions asking that evidence be excluded, significantly weakening the state’s case.
They may also be able to negotiate with the prosecutor to try and reach a plea deal, which may include being sentenced to probation, diversion programs, or community service.
The Hernandez Law Firm P.C. is committed to aggressively defending our clients so they can resolve their legal issues and resume their lives. If you face criminal charges in Jackson Municipal Court or Ocean City Superior Court, contact our law offices today to schedule a free case evaluation so we may determine your legal options.
Will My Criminal Case Have to Go to Trial to be Resolved?
A common concern for defendants is whether their criminal case must go to trial to be resolved. Fortunately, most criminal cases do not need to go to trial. Experienced attorneys often argue that cases should be dismissed due to a lack of evidence or that evidence should be excluded.
Depending on the circumstances involved in the case, many other criminal matters are resolved through plea bargaining or defendants’ acceptance into diversion programs. First-time offenders are often eligible for pre-trial intervention programs that help them avoid convictions. However, first-time offenders are guaranteed admission into the program but only on the prosecutor’s recommendation.
Defense attorneys often work closely with prosecutors to help their clients be accepted into diversionary programs to help them avoid a criminal record.
The Hernandez Law Firm, P.C., is dedicated to helping clients facing criminal charges quickly resolve their legal needs. Our primary objective is to dismiss your charges so you can resume your life. If we agree to take your case, we will provide you with an aggressive defense custom-tailored to your legal needs.
