First and foremost, we prepare every client's case for trial, rather than rushing to accept a plea bargain. Extensive preparation, combined with a willingness to do what is necessary on behalf of our clients, goes a long way. Although the vast majority of cases do not ultimately go to trial, our belief is that preparation plus hard work equals great results.
When people are accused of a felony, they face the terrible possibility of going to jail. At Piet & Wright we represent the interests of the accused. We will negotiate with prosecutors and can often arrange for reduced charges or lesser sentencing. Our criminal defense lawyers do much more than simply question witnesses in court. Good defense attorneys will:
- Formulate sentencing programs tailored to a client's specific needs, often helping defendants avoid future brushes with the justice system.
- Provide defendants with a reality check, a knowledgeable, objective perspective on their situation and what is likely to happen should their cases go to trial. This perspective is vital for defendants trying to decide whether to accept a prosecutor's offered "plea bargain".
- Are familiar with important legal rules because many criminal law rules are hidden away in court interpretations of federal and state constitutions.
- Are familiar with local court customs and procedures that aren't written down anywhere (for example, a lawyer may know which prosecutor has the "real" authority to settle a case, and what kinds of arguments are likely to appeal to that prosecutor).
- Understand the possible "hidden costs" of pleading guilty which a self-represented person might never think about.
- Spend crucial time on your case.
- Gather information from prosecution witnesses. Hire and manage investigators, who may be able to believably impeach (contradict) prosecution witnesses who embellish or change their stories at trial.
The attorneys at Piet & Wright will do what is necessary to help the accused achieve the most just and fair result as possible. Call our offices for a free consultation today at 702-566-1212 or online here.
