A criminal
defense lawyer is
a lawyer specializing
in the defense of
individuals and companies charged with criminal
conduct.
Criminal defense lawyers can be permanently employed by the
various jurisdictions with criminal courts. Such lawyers are
often called public
defenders.
For a much more extensive discussion of criminal defense, see public
defender.
The terminology is imprecise because each jurisdiction may
have different practices with various levels of input from
state and federal law or consent
decrees.
Other jurisdictions use a rotating system of appointments with
judges appointing a private practice attorney or firm for each
case.
If you are suspected of a crime, you may be feeling a
combination of anger, confusion and fear. It can be
intimidating to feel that the vast resources of the Government
are arrayed against you. But an arrest is not a conviction.
Those who know the law understand that your arrest is evidence
of nothing. But this is also why it's key to be represented by
a criminal defense lawyer you can trust.
