Innocent until proven guilty? If the cops thought you were innocent, they wouldn't have arrested you. If the prosecutors thought you were innocent, they wouldn't prosecute you.
As a prosecutor, I learned how to prove cases beyond a reasonable doubt and how evidence should be handled by police. I learned how to convince courts and juries to believe my witnesses and that the law supported their conduct. I learned how the cops conduct investigations and where mistakes are most often made. As defense counsel, I can expose any mistakes made in your case.
The court's Clerk Magistrate has already found probable cause for the charges against you, which means the court believes it is more likely than not that you committed the crimes charged.
The judge agrees that there is probable cause to believe you committed the charges, or he or she wouldn't allow the case to continue.
In the courtroom during all of your hearings, attendees include a member of the Clerk Magistrate's office, a prosecutor, and a judge, all of whom already believe that it is more likely than not that you committed the crimes against you.
You need a lawyer who understands the dynamic of the courtroom. You need a lawyer who appreciates your circumstances, your family's needs, and how to satisfy your best interests.
You need a lawyer that knows criminal prosecutions from the inside out.
