HOW DOES A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY PROTECT MY RIGHTS?
The justice system is a confusing and overwhelming place for those without a legal background. If you are facing criminal charges, a defense attorney on our team will protect your constitutional rights while using our experience to reduce or remove your penalties. While law enforcement officers are always supposed to advise you of your rights and respect those rights, that is not always the case.
Our legal team will take the following steps during your criminal case:
Educate you on your rights.
Insist that you are treated with respect and objectivity throughout every step of your criminal case.
Inform prosecutors and law enforcement officers of their errors whenever applicable.
Help you understand your legal options.
Advise you to avoid plea deals or other agreements that are not in your best interests.
In many cases, prosecutors and police officers will claim to have your best interests at heart. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. The individuals investigating your criminal charges want to build a case against you as fast as possible. If that means cutting corners or telling you a white lie to get you to accept a plea deal that is not in your favor, they will do it.
Working with a criminal defense attorney ensures that your freedom and your rights are protected throughout the investigation and the trial. Lead Attorney Ryan Renauro will stay by your side every step of the way, answering your questions and advising you of your legal options. We will not stop fighting for you until you get the outcome you deserve. Call Renauro Law at (479) 334-0355 for strong criminal defense and take the first step towards protecting your rights.
HOW WILL A DEFENSE ATTORNEY BUILD A DEFENSE CASE?
Creating a unique legal defense strategy is the first step our team will take in building your defense case. Every criminal case is different, and your strategy will depend on your charges and your criminal history.
By taking the following steps, our team will work with you to reduce or remove your penalties:
Investigating Your Case
Prosecutors will have evidence against you that they use to build your case. Our team will do our own investigation to determine what that evidence is and how it is being used. We will then begin gathering evidence in your defense to use in court.
Identifying Other Potential Suspects
In some criminal cases, it is helpful to have another suspect to shift blame onto. If your criminal charges can be reduced down to mistaken identity or a lack of motive, our team could find another suspect to defend you with.
Filing Motions
Filing motions before your trial allows our team to enter evidence in your defense. This is a crucial step, and our team will only enter evidence to defend your case.
Negotiating With Prosecutors
For some criminal charges, taking a plea deal is the best option for you. Our team will meet with the prosecution to see if a plea bargain is in your best interest. We will then advise you on whether or not to take the deal.
Representing You in Court
Although most criminal cases do not go to trial, there is a chance that yours will. If your case goes before a judge, our team will defend you in court by presenting evidence in your favor.
WHEN SHOULD I CONTACT A CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER?
The best time to contact a criminal defense law firm is as soon as you learn about the investigation against you. Law enforcement officers may attempt to speak with you without an attorney present. In most cases, it is not advisable to talk to police officers without legal representation. Even innocent-sounding or innocuous statements could be used against you in a criminal case.
