Leland Criminal Defense Lawyer

Your Life and Civil Rights are Valuable – We Help You Protect Them

When you are facing criminal charges, you could be defined by your case’s outcome, depending on its severity. Our criminal defense lawyers at Whitley Law will work tirelessly to support you and explore all possible options in defending you.

Depending on the severity of a crime, convictions can range from being fairly minor and punishable with a small fee to life-altering events resulting in long prison sentences and hefty fines. However minor or serious the charges may feel, facing a criminal charge puts your life and valuable civil rights at risk.

Proven Leland Criminal Defense Attorneys

When someone is arrested and charged with a crime, the person is supposed to be considered innocent until being convicted in court – at least, that is the ideal scenario. The unfortunate truth, however, is that in many cases, the system treats the defendant as guilty, regardless of how innocent he or she is.

The one ‘crime’ all defendants are guilty of is being accused. In fact, even the criminal complaint is publicly accessible information, meaning anyone who wants to review them can. Given that someone can access all of the details about your arrest and charges, it’s hard to maintain the mantra of ‘innocent until proven guilty.’

This means that, in real life, it can feel as though the authorities already have you convicted before you even have a chance to present your side of things and appear in court to show your evidence. In some scenarios, you may get to talk to an attorney before making an arrest, but often, that attorney works for the police or federal authorities and will give you advice that will push you further into their trap.

That’s why it is so vital to have an experienced criminal defense lawyer on your side as soon as possible when you are arrested and charged with a crime.
