Among many professional routes that your case could follow, a criminal defense lawyer may be able to help negotiate lesser time served over a rehabilitation program. Familiar with the system, a criminal defense lawyer is best suited to procure necessary evidence to help your case.
When it comes to witness statements and evidence, a professional can procure the necessary evidence and statements that can help build your case.
