Even if you believe that you may be guilty of a crime, there are ways a lawyer can work to minimize any penalties. For instance, if a client was caught with cocaine (a state jail felony), our attorneys can look into the extenuating circumstances of a situation and explain them to the judge. Does the client need treatment, not jail? Can the sentence be probated for two years, and during that time can the client get the drug treatment to overcome drug addiction? Is the client guilty but has never been arrested before?
