Find Criminal Lawyers Do criminal lawyers get to pick which cases they represent?
I don’t know for how long, I’ve considered going to college to become a criminal lawyer. But I was talking to my friend the other day and she too had thought about it. But she said that she changed her mind because even if you don’t believe the person is guilty or innocent, you HAVE to represent them. Truly I don’t want to be put in that situation if that is the case. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out, thanks .
Most law school graduates aspiring to practice criminal law do so initially in either a District Attorney’s office (county prosecutor) or a public interest criminal defense organization such as the county public defender’s office or Legal Aid Society. This is because most firms specializing in criminal law do not hire on a regular basis and many do not hire inexperienced attorneys.
If you work in a District Attorney’s office you wont have to worry about defending anyone since your role will be that of the prosecutor. If you work as a public defender, or a Legal Aid Society criminal defense lawyer, you are not going to have much discretion in the cases you take. They are assigned to you and while occasionally you may be able to get a case reassigned if it is particularly offensive to you for personal reasons that you believe would impede your ability to provide the defendant with zealous defense, for the most part you have to take your cases as you receive them. If you work for private practice at a law firm, your cases are also going to be assigned to you by a partner, and you are not going to have enough discretion in accepting assignments to ensure that you wont have to represent a guilty client.
Even if you decide to become a solo practitioner, there is no guarantee that you wont have to represent a guilty client. In criminal defense law clients constantly lie to their attorneys, sometimes even when they are innocent which makes it difficult for the attorney to ascertain their actual guilt which means that sometimes you may be representing a client that you think is guilty who is actually innocent and other times you may be representing a client who you think is innocent but is actually guilty.
Additionally, if criminal defense is part of your practice as a soloist, the courts may occasionally assign you represent a defendant pro bono and you generally don’t have a right to decline the assignment.
In general, if you have a problem with representing clients that may be guilty of the crimes with which they are charged, it is probably not a good idea to be a criminal defense lawyer. Very few defendants that go into the criminal court system are completely innocent and it is highly unlikely that you will be able to make a living specializing in criminal defense law by representing only those potential clients who you believe are innocent.

Is A Dui Whats the difference between DUI and Wet reckless?
I got a DUI a week ago, and would like to know the difference between a DUI and all the after affects of getting one and a wet reckless after affects. (probation, suspended license, record, jail time).
I am in california.
Totally depends on the state! Each state has different DUI and alcohol-related charges and the consequences for each are different depending on that state’s procedures. What state are you in?

Find Dui Attorney i got a DUI charge and a speeding ticket for 75m on the 35m area but i have a clean record. Do i need attorney?
i am ready to accept my mistake and being guilty! i really dont know what to do as i have never gone throught this situation before.
I have already registered for a First offenders program too.. do i have to serve jail time?
In the USA, for a DUI charge I would hire a lawyer especially when penalites can be quite severe and expensive. At least with your own attorney, you’ve hired some to represent you and he has your best interest at heart (as long as you pay him… lol).
