Criminal Attorney
|
|
1. You will need to have a criminal attorney when faced with criminal charges. |
True
People who have been recently arrested are advised to contact or talk with a criminal lawyer as soon as they possibly can. The more immediately an accused person can speak with a professional, the better this person's chances are of getting a release arranged in an expedient manor. |
|
2. Trying to find the right criminal lawyer, quickly, may feel overwhelming. |
True
Trying to locate the right person in a timely manor can be frustrating and overwhelming. Decisions about the best professional for your individual case can add stress to an already taxing situation. The priority should be to obtain a criminal lawyer as soon as possible because of the need to get information about the potential case to come and to understand the depth of the charges. |
|
3. Criminal lawyers are expensive and difficult to hire. |
False
A private criminal defense lawyer can be very expensive. But, fortunately, the U. S. Constitution mandates that a criminal defendant must receive criminal defense. This will allow the court to appoint a criminal attorney to represent any defendant that cannot afford to hire a professional on their own. The court appointed person works for free or for a fee that the defendant can afford. Therefore, everyone in our system is protected appropriately. |
|
4. Court appointed criminal defense attorneys may only question witnesses. |
False
Criminal defense lawyers can do much more than question witnesses in the courtroom. They can negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges, can understand the consequences of a guilty plea and advise accordingly, and can help with structuring a sentence to fit the client's specific needs. |
|
5. If a person goes to prison or jail, God forgets about them. |
False
Matthew 25:44-45 - Then shall they answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee in hunger or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee: Then shall he answer them, saying, verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. |
