Everyone accused of a crime has the right to defend themselves in court. However, depending on the nature of the charges against you, the complexity of the legal system and the potentially long-term consequences makes having legal representation a must. A criminal defense lawyer will ensure that your rights are protected. If you’ve been charged with a crime, Larry R. Koss Law Firm, serving Brockport, NY, and surrounding counties, recommends hiring a criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible.

A defense attorney offers several major advantages, including:

• Understanding Of Your Rights: Property searches and other aspects of criminal investigations must be conducted according to a very narrow set of guidelines designed to protect your civil rights. An experienced criminal defense lawyer will be able to identify violations of your rights, which may render those searches unconstitutional and any evidence collected against you inadmissible in court.
• Relationship With The Court: The most successful criminal defense lawyers have a strong working relationship with the courts, which allows them to engage in negotiation on your behalf and provide more effective representation in the courtroom. Based on this information, they'll be able to develop a strong legal strategy that responds to a wide variety of variables.
• Clarification Of The Process: A quality criminal defense lawyer will be able to explain the nature of your case in layman's terms, setting out the case against you and outlining the potential scenarios. They should help you develop realistic expectations about the outcome of your case and select the best course of action for your situation.
