Why You Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you have been charged with a crime, whether it is major or minor, is a serious matter, because it can have a negative impact on your record, and potentially, your furniture. Anyone facing criminal charges risks severe penalties and consequences, like jail time, having a criminal record, a loss of relationships, and future job prospects, not to mention a slew of other things. Some minor legal matters can be handled alone. Still, a criminal arrest of any nature should warrant some form of legal advice from a qualified criminal defense attorney who can protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome for your case.

When drunk driving charges or other criminal charges are threatening your freedom and future, you need a proven advocate in your corner who is passionate about giving you the strongest defense possible.

BENEFITS OF A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTOURNEY

Prison time, large fines, and felony convictions are serious penalties. If you are facing any of these due to a significant crime then you will want a great criminal defense lawyer fighting for you. No matter how smart you may be, or how equipped you feel you are to defend yourself, representing yourself in a criminal trial in an effective manner is very difficult. Criminal defense lawyers are trained to find elements of cases that are unique, looking for factors and listening for arguments that can reduce a conviction of a potential crime.

The role of a criminal defense attorney is to organize and present the facts in a manner that best supports a winning legal theory. They understand the legal concepts that are at play during a trial that a regular citizen wouldn’t. For these reasons, it is imperative that you understand just how we can defend you.

When You Need A Criminal Defense Attorney

Thorough Knowledge of the Criminal Law System

While this may seem like a no-brainer to many people, it is important that our criminal defense lawyers are trained professionals who know the Oregon law system inside and out. They have studied and trained to understand every aspect of criminal law and court procedures, and it is their job to defend you, determining if there are any loopholes or inconsistencies in the system that can work in your favor.

Impeccable Negotiation Skills

Criminal defense attorneys have had many years of negotiating cases and will utilize creative ideas to sentences that the defendant may not even know exists. They will advise you from the beginning of the case, what steps to take to put you in the best possible position for a plea negotiation, and will work to get you the best possible results.

Psychological Support

This is not to say that criminal defense lawyers have training in psychology, but attorneys can provide a lot of emotional support to their clients. A defendant who is representing themselves may feel that it is incredibly difficult to not only navigate the Oregon justice system on their own, but may be emotionally suffering from the overwhelming obstacles ahead of them. Without training or knowledge of how to defend themselves, they may crumble from the weight of defending themselves. When you have a criminal defense attorney standing in your corner that can offer insight and perspective on what is taking place, you will likely find the reality checks to be essential and helpful.

You deserve a firm with an exceptional reputation and one that knows how to build a solid defense. Our attorneys have many years of courtroom experience to protect you. If you need highly skilled and highly knowledgeable defense guidance aimed at getting you the best possible outcome in your case, then contact the criminal defense lawyers at Donahue today.

“I sent a relative to Bryan because his case was especially hairy and it required the attention of a specialist. Bryan took what seemed like an impossible case and knocked it out of the park. My cousin’s case was on the news and seemed indefensible. Bryan actually got him acquitted of the felony charge and was able to separately resolve the misdemeanor with no jail and no probation. I cannot say enough for how aggressive and intelligent this attorney proved himself to be. Beyond that, he is a normal, friendly, approachable person who is very easy to talk to.“
