Do Not Wait to Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer

If you are facing criminal charges, time is precious when it comes to building a strong defense for your case, which is why you should not wait to hire a defense attorney. The more time your attorney has to prepare and investigate the allegations against you, the better your chances of reducing or dismissing these charges will be.

Here are some other reasons why you should not hold off on hiring a criminal defense attorney:

Witness testimony will likely be a crucial element in your case and, unfortunately, memories fade and people become less reliable over time. That is why you need to hire an experienced attorney as soon as possible to start locating witnesses and obtaining official statements. Now is the time to make the most out of a witness’s account of the events surrounding your case.
Evidence takes many forms, but they all have something in common – they become harder to find and more difficult to rely on as time passes. The prosecutor on your case will have investigators gathering evidence to be used against you, so you need an attorney to start looking for exculpatory evidence that could potentially prevent a conviction. If you wait too long to get exculpatory evidence tested, it may become worthless and inadmissible.
An attorney can also help convince the judge on your case to set your bail at a lower, more affordable amount. Moreover, a criminal defense lawyer can advise you on whether you should post bail immediately or hold off until after arraignment.

Even if you did not hire a criminal defense lawyer immediately, hiring an attorney at any time to advocate on your behalf can improve your circumstances. Sooner is better, but it is never too late to benefit from skilled legal counsel.
