Although people accused of a crime are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, it often takes a skilled criminal defense attorney to ensure their freedom. Attorney Gary C. Mitchell, P.C. in Ruidoso, NM, knows firsthand how the complex criminal justice system can make it difficult to achieve justice. Applying more than 33 years of criminal law experience, he represents individuals charged with crimes from misdemeanors to death penalty cases.

Here, attorney Mitchell explains the benefits of hiring a criminal defense attorney:

• Legal & Practical Knowledge: Experienced criminal defense attorneys understand the law and how the legal process works, and they keep up with all the latest changes. They are also familiar with the personalities and preferences of prosecutors, judges, and court personnel, which gives them an advantage in negotiating plea agreements and trying cases on your behalf.
• Save Time & Money: The cost of hiring a criminal defense attorney for other types of cases is a small price to pay.
