I Need Defense Against Criminal Charges

If you are facing any type of criminal charges, it’s vital to employ a qualified Alabama criminal defense attorney. The criminal defense system does not favor defendants, and there are many laws, standards, and procedures that are difficult to navigate. Finding the right attorney for your situation is key to your case’s outcome and your future.


By communicating openly with an attorney, you will have the best chance at success. At Luck Law, LLC, our Montgomery criminal defense attorney strives to help all those facing criminal charges. We know that each case needs an individualized defense strategy, and the following are some considerations that go into building a strong defense for you. 


Ways a Defense Attorney Can Help

First off, an experienced criminal defense lawyer will know how the criminal process works. Each scheduled court hearing has a different purpose and different procedures, and your attorney will represent you in court at each stage of your case, so you will not have to figure out what to say or do on your own. This is true from your initial appearance before a judge to bail hearings to a jury trial, if necessary. 


There are many ways that a criminal defense attorney can help build your defense, and each defense approach will be different depending on the nature of the allegations against you, the circumstances of the alleged crime and your arrest, your past record, and more. Some common aspects of defense strategies include:


  • Determining whether officers violated your constitutional rights and seeking to render any unlawfully obtained evidence inadmissible
  • Figuring out whether you qualify for any alternative court programs, such as drug court, that will keep a conviction off your record
  • Identifying which defenses are appropriate in your case, which might include self-defense, an alibi, coercion or entrapment, or even insanity
  • Gathering evidence to support your defenses
  • Negotiating with the prosecutor to obtain the best possible plea agreement, which might reduce your charges, dismiss certain charges, or reduce the recommended sentence (such as probation instead of jail time) in exchange for a guilty plea
  • Reviewing the possible benefits or drawbacks of a guilty plea in your specific situation and advising you of the potential implications of each option
  • Representing you at a jury trial if you decide to continue to fight your charges in court


Finding the Right Defense Lawyer

There are many lawyers out there offering to defend you, so how do you choose the right one? First, you want to ensure they have experience handling your specific type of case. Then, you want to make sure that you feel comfortable communicating with them and being honest with them about your circumstances. This is key, so you can work together to build the strongest and most effective defense in your case.
