Being accused of a crime is an overwhelming experience, sometimes with very high stakes that can impact the rest of your life. Many people make the mistake of thinking that they can navigate the legal process alone, or that they might make things easier on themselves by aiding the prosecution. This often means surrendering your rights and living with the consequences, which may even include jail time. The attorneys at Cavanaugh-Bill Law Offices, based in Elko, NV, advise everyone to seek the services of a criminal lawyer as soon as the police detain you.

With their understanding of the law, an experienced criminal defense attorney can identify constitutional problems with the prosecution's case, and they will aggressively seek to have your charges dismissed or reduced. They are also skilled negotiators and may be able to reach an agreement with the prosecution to minimize the effects of your charges. Most importantly, they will ensure that your rights are protected throughout every step of the process and have the expertise to achieve the best possible outcome of your case.

In addition to their legal expertise, criminal defense attorneys have access to a wide range of resources that you may not be able to access on your own, such as expert witnesses and other specialists to help bolster your case. With the threat of jail time, fines, and the risk of carrying a criminal record, you shouldn't face the criminal justice system alone.
