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 advocate for their clients and ensure they receive a fair trial while protecting their legal rights.

Here are some key responsibilities and tasks performed by criminal defense lawyers:

  • Case Evaluation: A defense lawyer assesses the details of the case, including reviewing evidence, police reports, witness statements, and any other relevant information. They analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case against their client.
  • Legal Advice: Defense lawyers provide legal guidance to their clients, explaining the charges against them, the potential consequences, and the available options for defense. They help clients understand their rights and guide them through the complexities of the legal system.
  • Investigation: Defense attorneys conduct thorough investigations to gather evidence that supports their client's innocence or raises doubts about the prosecution's case. They may interview witnesses, examine crime scenes, review surveillance footage, or consult with experts in relevant fields.
  • Legal Strategy: Defense lawyers develop a strategic plan to defend their clients based on their case analysis and available evidence. This may involve negotiating with the prosecution for a plea bargain, filing pre-trial motions to suppress evidence, or preparing for a trial.
  • Representation in Court: Defense attorneys represent their clients during all stages of the criminal proceedings. They attend court hearings, argue motions, cross-examine witnesses, present evidence, and deliver opening and closing statements. They aim to cast reasonable doubt on the prosecution's case or disprove the charges against their client.
  • Plea Bargaining: In situations where a trial may not be in their client's best interest, defense lawyers negotiate with the prosecution for a plea bargain. They work to secure a favorable plea deal that minimizes the potential penalties or charges against their client.
  • Post-Trial Actions: Criminal defense lawyers may assist with post-trial actions if their client is found guilty. This can include filing appeals, requesting a new trial based on legal errors or new evidence, or seeking alternative sentencing options.

Throughout the legal process, criminal defense lawyers advocate for their clients, ensuring their rights are protected, providing support, and representing their best interests. It's important to note that the specific duties of a defense lawyer can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the case.

"Absolutely without a doubt Scott E. Gross is the Attorney you want to hire to represent you. Scott has the patience of a saint.

I wasn't rushed out, I wasn't just yessed to death. He listened, he explained the process and he answered all my questions, told me what needed to be done. He put my mind at ease. I left his office knowing that everything was going to be fine because I hired the best attorney."
