What is a criminal defense lawyer?

Criminal defense law protects people accused of crimes and holds the government to its burden of proving guilt while your constitutional rights are respected. A criminal defense lawyer investigates the charges, advises you, negotiates with prosecutors, and defends you at every stage — from arrest and bail through trial, sentencing, and appeal.
