Las Vegas Criminal Defense Lawyers
Criminal Defense
The lawyers at the De Castroverde Law Group represent defendants in all types of criminal matters throughout Las Vegas, including:
Criminal defense representation is a vital part of our justice system. Without it, defendants would have no protection from prejudice, or misconduct on the part of law enforcement, judges and prosecuting attorneys. Thousands upon thousands of innocent people would be convicted every single year. Fortunately, defendants are granted the right under the U.S. Constitution to seek legal counsel.
A criminal defense attorney provides a number of valuable services to his or her client, all based upon the primary goal of avoiding a conviction and criminal penalties. Your attorney can:
- Conduct or oversee all communication with law enforcement in order to help ensure that you do not say or do something that may result in you unintentionally incriminating yourself.
- Work with professionals in forensics and other fields to conduct an independent investigation into the case.
- Interview witnesses and law enforcement to get a clearer picture of what occurred – possibly to uncover information or evidence in your favor.
- Negotiate with the prosecuting attorney to lessen the charges and therefore the potential penalties that you may otherwise face.
- In criminal court, your attorney can assert your rights and help the judge and jury understand your side of the story in order to work toward a ruling in your favor.
