Criminal lawyer

As a criminal defense attorney, you represent people accused of crimes and protect their right to a fair defense. You meet with clients, investigate the facts, review evidence, negotiate with prosecutors, and argue cases in court, from small charges to serious felonies. Day to day, you might interview witnesses, file motions, advise a client on their options, or stand before a judge and jury. Your role is to make sure the government proves its case and your client's rights are respected.
