What Does A Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?
A criminal defense lawyer is a legal professional who specializes in defending individuals or organizations facing criminal charges. Their primary role is to advocate for their clients and protect their rights throughout the criminal justice process.
Here are some key responsibilities of a criminal defense lawyer:
- Legal Representation: Criminal defense lawyers represent their clients in court proceedings, including arraignments, hearings, trials, and appeals. They serve as their clients' legal advocates, arguing on their behalf and presenting their case to the court.
- Case Analysis: Lawyers analyze the facts of the case, review evidence, and assess the strength of the prosecution's case against their clients. They use this analysis to develop a strategic defense plan tailored to the specific circumstances of the case.
- Legal Advice: Lawyers provide legal advice to their clients, explaining the charges against them, their legal rights, and the potential consequences of various legal strategies. They help clients understand the implications of their choices and make informed decisions about their case.
- Investigation: Lawyers conduct investigations to gather evidence that supports their clients' defense. This may involve interviewing witnesses, reviewing documents, and hiring experts to testify on behalf of the defense.
- Negotiation: Lawyers negotiate with prosecutors to reach plea bargains or other favorable resolutions for their clients. They may seek reduced charges or penalties in exchange for a plea of guilty or a commitment to certain conditions.
- Courtroom Representation: Lawyers represent their clients in court, presenting arguments, examining witnesses, and cross-examining the prosecution's witnesses. They use their advocacy skills to challenge the prosecution's case and defend their clients vigorously.
- Legal Research and Writing: Lawyers conduct legal research to understand relevant laws and precedents that apply to their clients' cases. They also prepare legal documents, such as motions and briefs, to be filed with the court.
- Client Counseling: Lawyers counsel their clients on how to conduct themselves during court proceedings and advise them on the potential outcomes of their case. They work to alleviate their clients' concerns and keep them informed about the progress of their case.
Overall, a criminal defense lawyer's role is to provide effective legal representation to their clients, protect their rights, and work towards achieving the best possible outcome in their case.

Steps in the Georgia Criminal Process
Depending on the nature of the charge and jurisdiction, the criminal process may begin with a formal investigation, which typically occurs in federal criminal cases. In contrast, minor state charges generally start with an arrest, including reading your Miranda rights. Part of the Miranda rights reads, “If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you before any questioning.” But our criminal attorney knows that not all legal counsel provided by public defenders is equal, which is why he offers financing and flexible payment plans.
Once charges are filed after an arrest or formal investigation, the following steps you can expect include the arraignment, discovery phase, and plea bargain. If a plea bargain is not reached, the case can move into the pre-trial motion phase before arriving at trial. The criminal process can be confusing, especially for someone who has never encountered the Atlanta criminal justice system. Don’t speak to anyone until you’ve talked to a trusted Atlanta criminal defense attorney at the Law Office of Matthew T. McNally.
