There are many reasons why you need to hire a criminal defense lawyer in Fairfax County if you are charged with a criminal offense. It is never a good idea to try to defend yourself. An experienced criminal defense attorney may be able to decrease any financial penalties and lower your jail time or keep you out of jail entirely. An attorney may be able to get you a deal where you may be able to enter a rehabilitation program or another diversionary program. There is also always the possibility of a plea deal where you may be able to plea to a lesser charge or eventually have the charge dismissed. These are all the things that a criminal defense attorney may be able to accomplish.
Examine the Prosecution’s Evidence
Too often, people who are not represented by an attorney do not realize that there could be many mistakes or loopholes in the evidence presented by the prosecutor, but they do not know where and how to look for problems with the prosecutor’s case. Your attorney has been doing this for years and may be able to discover weaknesses in the case against you. Mark Nicewicz, Esq., is committed to seeing that your rights are protected and that you receive fair and honest treatment from the criminal justice system.
