When you find yourself charged with a crime or even multiple crimes, having a proper defense against the charges could change the course of your life. While getting charged with a crime doesn’t have to shatter the life you’ve built for yourself, it can be damaging if you don’t have a solid defense attorney who can help you navigate the criminal justice system in a way that ultimately benefits you in the end. According to the video “The 5 things your criminal defense Lawyer should be doing for your Criminal case” by Ktenas Law on YouTube, the first thing any nurse criminal defense lawyer or general criminal defense lawyer should do is investigate the charges that have been made against you so they have a clear idea of what their defense should look like.
Once a defense attorney has investigated the charges, you should work with them to decide the best pat forward.
Although you may think it’s always a good idea to deny culpability and plead guilty, your defense attorney may not suggest that based on the evidence against you. If the evidence against you is compelling enough, your defense attorney may suggest the route of pleading “no contest” or taking a plea deal that might be more attractive than the gamble of going to trial.
