An accusation that you committed a crime might come with a lifetime of consequences. Many of those consequences last long after the case is resolved in court. Without the proper representation you could have a permanent criminal record. A criminal record can impact your ability to get a job, continue your education, or travel outside of the United States. The criminal accusation can also bring collateral consequences including a driver's license suspension, administrative proceeding, injunction or disciplinary hearing.
An experienced criminal defense attorney can fight the charges to protect you from both the direct and the collateral consequences. If you are innocent or there is insufficient evidence then the best result is getting all of the charges dropped or obtaining a "not guilty" verdict at trial. Pre-trial motions to suppress or exclude prejudicial evidence are extremely important. In other cases, the best result might be obtained during pre-trial negotiations if the prosecutor is persuaded to reduce the charges and the typical penalties associated with those charges.
In many cases, the more aggressively the case is fought and the closer the case gets to trial then the more willing the prosecutor becomes to make a better offer to resolve the case. A skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney can help you make these decisions about what defense strategies to use and how to fight for the best result.
