A criminal defense lawyer plays a critical role in protecting the rights of individuals accused of crimes. Their primary responsibility is to provide legal representation to ensure their client receives a fair trial and the best possible outcome under the law. From the moment charges are filed—or even during an investigation—a skilled New York criminal defense attorney offers guidance and advocacy every step of the way.
One of the first tasks of a criminal defense lawyer is to thoroughly review the details of the case, including police reports, witness statements, and any evidence presented by the prosecution. This evaluation helps identify any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case or potential violations of the defendant’s rights, such as improper searches or failure to read Miranda rights.
A defense lawyer also advises clients on their legal options, which may include negotiating plea deals, seeking case dismissal, or preparing for trial. When negotiations are on the table, a lawyer works to minimize penalties or charges, often through reduced sentences or alternative resolutions.
If a case goes to trial, the lawyer builds and presents a strong defense. This includes cross-examining witnesses, challenging evidence, and arguing on behalf of the client to create reasonable doubt.
The lawyers at Hamilton Clarke, LLP have zealously and successfully represented clients on complex civil and commercial litigation, corporate, shareholder activism and distressed matters, and white collar criminal defense including fraud, money laundering, insider trading, racketeering and tax evasion.
