Former Prosecutor

Why Should I Only Hire a Former Prosecutor

When you are facing criminal charges, the attorney you choose to represent you is the most important decision you will make. It is crucial to hire a lawyer who has experience on “the other side” as a prosecutor, as this can give them valuable insight into the strategies and tactics of the prosecution and help them achieve the best possible outcome for your case. When you are up against the full power of the state, having a lawyer with extensive prosecutorial experience can make all the difference.

Former Prosecutors Have the Courtroom Experience You Need to Defense Serious Charges

When you hire a lawyer who is a former prosecutor, you are getting someone who has extensive trial experience and has gone to battle in the courtroom on a daily basis. Prosecutors often have large caseloads and must manage a high volume of cases, giving them valuable experience in handling complex legal matters.

Prosecutors have a deep understanding of how a case progresses from arrest to appeal, have participated in the initial investigation of serious criminal cases, negotiated thousands of plea deals, and have successfully argued in front of juries. This background is invaluable in achieving the best possible outcome for your case.

Here are just some of the advantages a former prosecutor brings to the table:

They have seen, been a part of, and even directed how the police investigate a case.
If you are only being investigated and have not been arrested yet, a former prosecutor knows how and by whom the decisions are made and can help get in front of the situation.
They know how the State is going to build their case, the facts they must prove, and the types of evidence they use as “shortcuts” in front of a jury and can cut them off ahead of time.
They understand how a prosecutor is going to try their case from beginning to end and can stay a step ahead in every phase of the case.
They know how prosecutors “think”, their goals with the case, and how best to negotiate to get the best results for their client.
They know how to talk to a jury. Only when you have stood in front of a jury as many times as an overworked, big city prosecutor can you understand the difficulties of convincing a random group of twelve people to do anything. They can thwart the prosecution by building a relationship with the jury and counter them at every step.
