How a Riverside Criminal Defense
Lawyer Can Defend You
Your right to choose and attorney is critical to the success of your case. Choosing an aggressive, experienced, and hardworking defense lawyer is essential to protect you from the potential consequences of criminal prosecution in Riverside. The attorney you choose will send a message to the prosecution about whether you are serious about defending yourself and whether you have the requisite knowledge of the legal system to hire an excellent trial lawyer. A skilled, experienced, and well-respected lawyer can often negotiate, or if necessary, force a better outcome for your criminal case. By hiring Mr. DeLimon and our firm, you are sending a message to the prosecution that you intend to hire one of the best criminal defense attorneys in the Inland Empire to seek the best possible outcome of your case.
An experienced defense lawyer can help you:
1. Identify law enforcement errors or deficiencies in the investigation. Law enforcement officers are human and make errors in judgement and procedure that can help prove you are innocent or not guilty of the charge.
2. Coordinate your own defense investigation to assist in your defense. An experienced defense attorney understands the value of conducting your own defense investigation to help develop defense evidences that proves your innocence or helps show that you should be found not guilty of the charge.
3. Identify legal defenses to crimes that you did not know exist. An experienced defense attorney has access to legal resources and legal research tools that can help you to develop legal defenses to your case.
4. Negotiate your case with prosecutors and judges. An experienced, well respected defense lawyer, with deep connections in the legal system can help you negotiate your case with prosecutors and judges.
Attempting to Negotiate a Plea Deal
Most criminal cases end in a plea bargain. When you accept a plea bargain, it means you agree to plead guilty to less serious charges or in return for the prosecutor recommending a less serious sentence to the judge. Importantly, people who are represented by an attorney usually receive significantly better plea bargain offers than those who choose to represent themselves.
Representing You in Court
In the event that your case goes to court, it’s imperative that you have an attorney representing you. Criminal law and court procedures are complex, and unrepresented defendants do not tend to fare well at the trial. A lawyer can ensure that your rights are protected and that you present the strongest defense possible.
Mr. DeLimon is an award-winning trial lawyer, and former prosecutor, who served as a homicide attorney in one of the nation’s largest District Attorney’s offices, before starting his own criminal defense and civil rights firm.
