How We Help

It’s important to understand that no criminal defense lawyer can promise you an acquittal or a favorable plea bargain. Making such guarantees is unethical. However, the nature of the legal system is such that prosecuting attorneys often have enormous advantages over defendants. Many of those accused of crimes lack the resources to hire competent legal representation. And because district attorneys possess significant leverage over defendants, many defendants end up negotiating away their rights and signing onto plea bargains that will haunt them for years.

Keys Law Offices’ criminal defense lawyers even the scales. We’ll investigate your case and find the flaws in the state’s theories. We’ll find witnesses and arrange expert testimony on your behalf. We understand how the courts work and how to prepare you for them.

Of course, the reality is that most cases are handled outside the courtroom and in the negotiating room. Plea negotiations are where the skill of your attorney will truly come into play. The Keys Law Offices’ criminal defense lawyers will be your champion in these negotiations and make sure your rights are defended and interests represented.
