What is a Criminal Defense Lawyer?
About Criminal Defense Lawyers
A criminal defense attorney stands between you and the power of the government.
Criminal defense lawyers represent people who have been arrested and charged with crimes. They also represent clients who are concerned that they may be under investigation by law enforcement or regulatory agencies.
Any lawyer who has been admitted to the State Bar of California can legally represent a client in criminal proceedings. However, just as a doctor may specialize in a single field of medicine, many attorneys choose to focus their practices on specific areas of law.
Devoted exclusively to the defense of the accused. ™
