CRIMINAL DEFENSE​

​

The principle of freedom which Americans highly prize is demonstrated in our nation’s commitment to the presumption of innocence in a criminal trial. In many other nations, the accused is presumed guilty until he proves his innocence or the government inadequately proves its case. Yet in the United States of America, the presumption of innocence requires the prosecution to prove its case against the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt before he would be pronounced guilty.

​

Under the U.S. Constitution, everyone accused of a crime has the right to a lawyer’s defense.  It is criminal lawyers who represent defendants in and out of court. They make several attempts to settle the case outside of court but occasionally, they must go to trial.
