Criminal Law Attorneys vs. Public Defenders

When it comes to criminal charges, the sooner you retain council the better off your case will be. The question is, who to you go to and where?

Your rights guarantee you representation. If you can't afford to hire your own attorney, one will be provided by the state. You will be offered, depending on your income, a free attorney or an attorney at a reduced rate.

The lawyers provided by the state are called public defenders and are assigned to your case based on their availability. While it may be reasonable to put your fate in the hands of a public defender for a minor charge, if you are arrested or being investigated for a felony, you need the best defense possible. Your freedom may depend upon it. For a serious charge, one where your freedom may actually be threatened, you need to hire an attorney  who specializes in your type of case. You need to find a lawyer with practical experience and a proven track record. An experienced criminal law attorney is going to provide you with focused, creative representation using the best possible strategy.

One of the problems with an assigned attorney is you’re not able to do the research you need to help in a serious matter. While most public defenders are good attorneys, some are not. Many are over-worked who simply want to plead out your case to save their time and the state’s money. The case load they carry is unreal, especially for densely populated areas like Westchester County. It is reasonable to presume they are knowledgeable and ethical. But would you bet your freedom on it?

When you have the ability to do the research, you’ll put your case in the hands of a competent attorney who has the background to bring your case to a satisfactory conclusion. Darren DeUrso is that attorney. Do the research. Then call The Law Offices of Darren DeUrso.
