More than 600 arrests

Perhaps the single most frequent question I have had since becoming an attorney who does some criminal defense work has been "How can you defend someone who is guilty?" The question itself is misleading, as in our society, everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Just because someone is accused does not make them guilty of anything, or if they have done something illegal, their guilt may not be for what they were accused. I zealously defend my clients and seek for them a fair procedure, be it a trial, sentence or plea agreement. This article from the Daily News Journal outlines some of the apprehensions and hasty generalizations involved with criminal defense work.
