"Increasing rates of domestic violence means a rise in accusations of family violence," commented thirty year veteran criminal defense attorney Edward R La Rue. "Being accused of a serious crime does not have to end with prison or a jail sentence. Often, we can minimize the potential fallout."
One of the most critical decisions a suspect can make is to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney. "There are many reasons someone might want to self-represent – but simply put, don't. A skilled and experienced trial lawyer is essential to getting the best results,” La Rue made clear.
"A criminal defense attorney who has tried hundreds of cases will have the resources to craft a strong defense through an independent investigation and will anticipate a prosecution's best arguments, and those best suited to the defense" La Rue said.
Additionally, "allowing them to act on your behalf in dealing with law enforcement is critical to protecting yourself and getting the best results."
He advised that he recommend that suspects remain silent and not speak to the police if they are arrested or in custody, but instead, assert their right to have a lawyer present. "Often law enforcement will use specific tactics to pressure or coerce a suspect, causing them to become nervous, and resulting in their signing statements they might otherwise not."
As the Miranda rights read: “The statements you make can and will be used against you in a court of law.” La Rue explained, “you can tell law enforcement your social Security Number and Date of Birth, but after that, anything else is ill-advised without seeking the assistance of an attorney.’’
"Instead, allow your lawyer to be your representative and to speak on your behalf for everything else. Upon hiring a lawyer, any decision made regarding your case should pass through your legal counsel."
He advised that anyone accused of a serious offense, such as domestic violence, should act immediately and contact an experienced attorney. "Not acting quickly will allow prosecutors more time to build a strong case against you and law enforcement to either fail to take into account your side of the story, or fail to consider its merits when determining whether to bring a case."
La Rue concluded: "Experienced criminal defense attorneys are knowledgeable about the process and can pursue the best course of action on your behalf without needless and often damaging delays in resolving your case."
