Secure an Aggressive Defense Against Your Criminal Charges
As with any crime, a criminal lawyer must review the facts of your violent crime case and ascertain evidence to help you form a strong defense. There are situations in which an innocent person is facing criminal accusations and an individual was wrongly charged, cases of mistaken identity. Sadly, there are innocent people that are railroaded and serving time for crimes they didn't commit.
There are also cases in which a person is accused of a violent crime when the action was taken in self-defense. These and other defenses depend largely on your San Diego criminal lawyer, who should know how to dig for the facts and expose the weaknesses and flaws in the prosecutor's case. Violent crimes almost all have severe penalties upon conviction, with very lengthy prison sentences.
