What You Must Consider When You Are Charged With a Crime
Prosecutors Don't Care About You
To the prosecutor you are just a name in a police report and a case number on the outside of a file. The prosecutor doesn’t see you as a father, mother, co-worker, or friend, they only see you as a “criminal” who must be punished at all costs.
The sad reality is that good people are sent to jail everyday by a system that cares more about throwing the vast resources of the government against individual citizens then it does about justice. You need a lawyer who knows the system from the inside. It is essential that you hire an attorney who cares about fighting to make sure that your freedom is preserved and that you get your life back.
The D.A.'s Job is to Convict You and Seek Serious Penalties
Prosecutors answer to bosses and supervisors just like everyone else. Prosecutors are not promoted for cutting you a break or seeing you as a whole person. Nor do they receive raises for seeing the good in people. Their position and paycheck are based upon their ability to punish you as severely as possible.
Even so called “progressive prosecutors” still seek harsh penalties and state prison sentences every day in courthouses across Southern California. If you think that the D.A. is going to “come to his senses” you are sorely mistaken. It is incredibly important that you hire an attorney who will do everything in his power to stop the prosecutor in his tracks.
Public Defenders are Severely Underpaid and Overworked
There are many highly skilled public defenders working today, however, the fact of the matter is that they handle back-breaking case loads and are incredibly underfunded. When your freedom and future are on the line you need an attorney who is able to give your case the individual attention that you need.
