Absolutely!  If you are charged with a crime in Lexington, KY, you owe it to yourself to hire a criminal defense attorney.  Whether you've been charged with a simple traffic offense or a more serious misdemeanor or felony, it is wise to consult a Lexington criminal defense lawyer. 

A Lexington, KY criminal defense attorney will be able to explain your constitutional rights based on the facts of your case.  They will also be able to consider the facts surrounding your charges and evaluate your best defenses.  Often, a criminal defense lawyer will know of other defenses you may not have considered.  They will further know how to identify the best- and worst-case outcomes regarding your charges. 

Even if you plan to plead guilty, a Lexington, KY criminal defense attorney is a valuable resource.  Prosecutors have a great deal of discretion depending on the charges you face, and a criminal defense lawyer will be able to assess your situation and potentially get your charges reduced.  Even if a lesser included offense is not an option, a criminal defense lawyer can fight for your rights and help minimize your punishment by arguing for a minimum sentence or fine.            

If you wish to plead not guilty, a Lexington, Kentucky criminal defense attorney is almost essential.  They will be able to represent your interests throughout all of the court proceedings and ensure that the prosecution meets its burden of proof:  proof beyond a reasonable doubt.  Criminal proceedings can be intimidating, and a criminal defense attorney will be able to guide you through the legal process while protecting your rights along the way. 

Handling court appearances such as your arraignment makes a Lexington criminal defense attorney a valuable asset in your defense.  Many defendants are uncomfortable speaking in open court, and you deserve a zealous advocate willing to stand up for your rights.   

​If you, or a loved one, have been charged with a crime in Lexington, Kentucky, or in a nearby county, give me a call at (859) 303-6007 for a free consultation.
