What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

A criminal defense lawyer is a legal professional who specializes in defending individuals or organizations charged with criminal offenses. Their primary role is to provide legal representation to their clients throughout the criminal justice process. Here are some key responsibilities and actions that a criminal defense lawyer may undertake:

  • Legal Advice: A criminal defense lawyer advises their clients on their legal rights, options, and potential outcomes based on the specific charges they are facing.
  • Case Analysis: They thoroughly analyze the facts and evidence related to the case to develop a strategic defense strategy. This may involve reviewing police reports, witness statements, forensic evidence, and other relevant documents.
  • Negotiation: In some cases, a defense lawyer may negotiate with prosecutors to reach a plea bargain, which could result in reduced charges or penalties for their client. They advocate for the best possible outcome on behalf of their client.
  • Court Representation: A defense lawyer represents their client in court proceedings, including arraignments, bail hearings, pretrial motions, trial proceedings, and sentencing hearings. They present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and argue legal points to defend their client's interests.
  • Legal Research and Preparation: Lawyers conduct legal research to understand relevant laws, precedents, and case strategies that may apply to their client's case. They also prepare legal documents, such as motions, briefs, and appeals, to support their defense strategy.
  • Client Advocacy: Defense lawyers advocate for their clients' rights and interests throughout the legal process. They ensure that their clients are treated fairly by law enforcement, prosecutors, and the court.
  • Investigation: Lawyers may conduct their own investigations to gather evidence or witness testimony that supports their client's defense. This could involve hiring investigators or experts to assist in building a strong defense.
  • Appeals: If a client is convicted, a defense lawyer may handle the appeals process to challenge the conviction or sentence based on legal errors or new evidence that could impact the case.

Overall, a criminal defense lawyer works diligently to protect their client's rights, provide a vigorous defense, and achieve the best possible outcome in their criminal case.

  • "Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction."
    My name is Kelley R., owner of Wishes Dance Studio. As a small business owner in Fishers, Indiana I have found having a great attorney to be more valuable to me than great accountant. Chris Jeter and his team stand by my side to help guide me in the right direction. His knowledge of small business protected me in areas I didn't even know existed. As a result, it gave me peace of mind, takes away the worry and lets me concentrate on growing the business.

  • "Amazing and thorough..."
    Thomas Blessing and his legal aid, Jacqueline, we're so amazing in the manner in which my grandson was advocated for in our local school system. The situation was difficult, to say the least, and Tom fought ethically and capably to protect our dignity and rights for my grandson's educational needs. We won more than the right for him to attend school as an average student, but also make-up time. I would recommend Tom and his team to help with anything educational legal issues you might have.

  • "We highly recommend this firm"
    Our family has retained M&J LLP on several occasions. We were under great stress, did not know what to do next, and believed our situation was hopeless when we met with Mario M., Chris J., and staff. These people are not only brilliant, educated lawyers, but proved to personally care about what happened to our family. We feel deeply indebted to Mario M. particularly for the caring service we have been receiving. We cannot say enough good things to describe the responsible legal assistance we have received over the past year. We highly recommend this firm and will definitely use their services in the future if necessary
