Criminal Defense: 5 Reasons to Hire an Attorney in Denver

by Joseph Marie General We humans make mistakes often under circumstances of misjudgment, misunderstanding and uncontrolled temper. But, those small mistakes escalate so quickly to become misdemeanors or felonies under the stringent eyes of law. In these intense moments of hardship and confusion, it is better to have an attorney by your side to defend yourself and have a clean criminal history. Because the amount of pain and regret one must go through if something must go wrong in a criminal case is horrid and depressing. Rather than having false beliefs that you are capable of defending yourself, it is important to understand what attorneys do and what they are capable of. Here is a list of reasons why you need a Denver criminal defense attorney.

1. Litigation

In simple words, litigation is a judicial process that involves you, the defendant, the accuser and may or may not have a judge or jury. It is an agreement or settlement that both parties come to; an agreement to either drop the charges or come to a compromise. In most of the criminal cases like domestic violence, both the parties, under the heat of the moment decide to take trivial matters to court and often complicate their lives. A criminal defense attorney could guide you to reduce the impact of the situation and prevent things going out of control through a quick litigation.

2. Probable Cause

Suppose there’s a complaint filed against you or an investigation ordered or a warrant issued, you will be subjected to interrogation and your belongings will be searched if the search officers have a search warrant. A probable cause is the idea or hunch that these officers come to that you might be a suspect and might have caused the crime. This might follow an arrest too. It is advised you speculate this situation and have an attorney by your side to guide you during the investigation. The attorney will prevent you doing or saying things that would make you a potential suspect. The attorney could defend you in court and have your charges dropped by proving that the probable cause is weak and lacking proper proof and evidence that you are a suspect.

3. Arraignment

Arraignment is the legal proceedings that happen in the court of law where the prosecutor presents the case and your criminal defense lawyer defends you. Having an attorney by your side is advantageous because you can be honest with your attorney and strategize your defense before facing the prosecutor. Your defense attorney could also guide you during a plea bargain i.e. a request to reduce your charges and accepting that you are guilty. A right plea bargain can result in reduced charges or a minor fine and ease your burden.

 4. Bail

Bail is a bond that you make by putting forth money or property and promise to abide by the law instead of punishment or jail. A criminal defense attorney in Denver could defend you and get you a bail. This could save a lot of embarrassment and mental trauma of being in jail. The chances of getting a bail are very thin if you decide to defend yourself trusting your instincts and presumed intelligence about law.

5. Moral Support

It is not easy to be accused of a crime or undergo a legal procedure that could take days, months or even years. People and families often break down in despair and disappointment. A Denver criminal defense attorney can kindle that small hope still alive in your heart and build your confidence; provide you and your family the moral support and courage that is most needed while defending yourself.
