What does a defense attorney do?

A criminal defense lawyer is responsible for creating a winning strategy and crafting a strong defense for their clients. They act as the accused's advocate and drafter. They must prepare, file, argue, and defend the rights of their client. Defense attorneys are responsible for reaching a plea agreement with the prosecution.

What if a defense lawyer knows his client is guilty?

A defense lawyer may not know for sure whether the defendant is guilty or innocent of the charges. Even if the defendant claims that he is guilty, it could be false and they may lie in order to protect someone else.

Can lawyers refuse to defend someone?

If a court refuses them leave to withdraw from the case, lawyers cannot refuse to represent someone. A conflict of interests is one reason why a criminal lawyer might not defend someone.

Do defense attorneys believe their clients?

Criminal defense lawyers are ethically responsible to stand up for their clients, regardless of what their personal views may be. Criminal defense attorneys must advocate for their clients even if they believe the client is guilty.

What processes are involved in New Jersey criminal defense?

Based on the crime committed, the criminal case procedure may have different processes. The criminal procedure often includes the following: ● Arrest ● Criminal complaint ● Setting conditions for pretrial release ● Hiring a criminal defense lawyer ● Pre-indictment ● Plea Bargains ● Indictment ● Arraignment ● Trial ● Sentencing ● Appeals

When should I hire a criminal defense attorney?
