If you have been charged with a crime, your freedom may be at stake. In criminal cases, it is the prosecutor’s obligation to prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. An experienced criminal defense lawyer will look to prepare a strong defense, challenging the strength of the prosecution’s case and/or to present evidence that casts doubt as to your guilt.
