Innovation In Trial Readiness

The best way for a criminal defense attorney to serve their client is to be prepared for trial. Prosecutors are very often overloaded with cases and they have to pick and choose which ones they really want to prepare for. They are also not obligated to prosecute misdemeanor charges in most of the country. This gives the defendant that has hired their own personal attorney an advantage. Your personal attorney only has the cases he/she wishes to take on. There is no unending flow of cases coming in which must be addressed.

In preparing a client's case for defense, the Trial Lawyers College developed Trial Workshops as a way for defense attorneys, both local and further away, to come together either in person or virtually to discuss a client's case. The benefit of this practice is that you develop new storytelling perspectives by bouncing details of your case off of others' minds. This leads to showing a jury that your client's case is 
not "just another drug possession case."

Collaboration from workshops is just one way a professional criminal defense attorney can help you with any criminal charges which may have been brought against you, or if you are under investigation/being interviewed as a suspect in any criminal proceeding. If you live in Burlington, Essex, Colchester, Winooski, Williston, Shelburne, or anywhere in the state of Vermont, and have been arrested or charged with 
DUI or any crime, call Handy Law for aggressive and experienced legal defense.
