Definitely the answer is YES. You should never go to court and plead guilty without having an experienced criminal defense lawyer helping you. If you walk into court and plead guilty then you are facing the maximum punishment allowed by law and you could likely receive it. With a criminal defense expert working on your case he or she can work with the judge and the prosecutor to obtain the lowest punishment possible in your case. Often clients who would other be sentenced to many months in custody end up doing no jail time after retaining our criminal defense law firm. Do not make the horrible mistake of pleading guilty without retaining a criminal defense attorney to help you.

  1. I would never recommend pleading guilty to any crime (misdemeanor or felony) without first consulting an attorney. In todays world, your rap sheet is your life. Your future is directly related to a prior record you may have expecially if you are young. It is critical to keep you criminal record clean. Just about all prospective employers will check your record prior to hiring you. You do not want to be denied employment because you failed to hire an attorney and thus something bad came up on your record. If there is any way to keep your record clean, a good experienced attorney will find a way. If not totally clean, perhaps to reduce the case to a less serious offense that would look better on your rap sheet. How you handle your criminal case today can have serious implications later on in your life.
