What is a DEFEnse Attorney?
A defense attorney is a legal professional representing individuals or organizations in criminal cases. The primary goal of a defense attorney is to defend their client's rights and ensure that they receive a fair trial.
A defense attorney performs various duties to represent their client's interests in a criminal case. Here are some of the things that a defense attorney may do:
- Investigate the case: A defense attorney will thoroughly investigate the facts of the case and gather evidence that could support the client's defense.
- Advise the client: A defense attorney will advise their client on their legal rights, the potential consequences of their charges, and what to expect during the legal process.
- Represent the client in court: A defense attorney will represent their client in court, arguing on their behalf and advocating for their rights.
- Negotiate plea bargains: If appropriate, a defense attorney may negotiate with the prosecution to reach a plea bargain that reduces their client's charges or penalties.
- Cross-examine witnesses: A defense attorney will cross-examine witnesses presented by the prosecution and challenge the evidence against their client.
- File motions: A defense attorney may file motions with the court to suppress evidence, dismiss charges, or request a change of venue.
- Appeal decisions: If their client is found guilty, a defense attorney may file an appeal to challenge the verdict or sentence.
Overall, a defense attorney's main goal is to ensure that their client's legal rights are protected and that they receive a fair trial.
