Almost everyone, if not everyone, has committed one or more crimes at one point in time or another. The government chooses which crimes it will prosecute and who it will bring to prosecution. Matters which should not be considered in making these decisions nevertheless are considered because the persons making them are imperfect human beings. Your criminal defense attorney has the job of seeing to it that you are not convicted and punished if you unfairly have been selected for, or unfairly brought to, prosecution or you unfairly have been tried and unfairly found guilty in a court of law, Your lawyer also is there to see to it that your punishment after conviction is not unfair. Your lawyer’s primary tool at trial and in any appeal is argument based in the law and the evidence presented to the court. Your lawyer also gives you advice regarding the status of your case from the beginning to the end so that you can make informed decisions regarding settlement offers that you receive or should make, and he or she keeps an eye on court decisions during the trial that might or can be the basis for post-trial appeals alleging errors of the court during the trial. Your trial will be based on the evidence in. the case, not on the facts of the case.
Because you are not a lawyer, you should seek the counsel of a criminal defense lawyer if you want to avoid conduct that is a crime, want to report a possible crime by another, believe you are about to engage in conduct that could be a crime, believe you have engaged in conduct that is a crime, or have been stopped by a law enforcement officer who is making inquiries of you regarding a matter that is related to possible criminal conduct by you. The U.S. Constitution states that you have a right to the assistance of a lawyer in any criminal matter.
