Why You Should Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney Today

From DUIs and drug crimes to theft, assault, and murder, getting convicted of a crime can wreak havoc on your reputation, wallet, and freedom. Fortunately, with skilled legal counsel, it is often possible to have criminal charges reduced. In some cases, charges are dismissed entirely. If you have been charged with a crime, here are 11 reasons why you should hire a criminal defense lawyer today.

We understand how the system works

You have rights, even if you’ve been charged with a felony. At Davis & Cannon, LLP, our Sheridan criminal defense lawyer will ensure that you fully understand those rights and the options available to you. Facing criminal charges can be terrifying and confusing. It is our job to help you understand the charges against you—and any associated penalties—so that you may make informed decisions about how you want to proceed.

We handle the paperwork

With any legal issue comes extensive and confusing paperwork. We will shoulder this burden for you and ensure that the requested documents have no mistakes and are turned in on time. Even minor errors and delays can quickly become disastrous.

We protect your rights

If you are facing criminal charges, you can be sure that the prosecution will try to trick you into saying something that can be used against you. In criminal cases, there are countless opportunities for people to take advantage of you, capitalizing on your lack of legal knowledge. Having an experienced criminal defense attorney by your side can help to ensure that nobody takes advantage of you and that your rights are protected throughout the entire process.

We expedite the process

To effectively and expeditiously fight criminal charges, it takes a village. The best defense lawyers have an exceptional team behind them. And when you have a skilled legal defense team working to keep your case moving, you can get your life back on track sooner, and save money.

Speaking of saving money

Incurring the expense of an experienced criminal defense attorney may seem counterintuitive to saving money, but having solid legal counsel often results in significant cost savings. A good attorney can help to ensure the best possible outcome for your case; a lesser sentence might help you keep your job, and/or prevent you from losing a professional license. Even if you aren’t fired for a criminal conviction, the time spent behind bars will certainly translate to lost income. Furthermore, while attorney fees can be high, most lawyers are willing to work with clients to determine a payment arrangement that works for everyone.

We provide emotional support

Dealing with criminal charges is often a highly emotional and stressful time in a person’s life. Feelings of shame and guilt are common, and you may not wish to share everything (or anything) with your loved ones. Fortunately, an experienced defense lawyer can be the shoulder and ear you need to vent your fears and frustrations, and they will provide thoughtful advice on how to move forward. This is one of the many reasons it is so important to choose an attorney who is experienced, and with whom you feel comfortable. You’re going to be divulging very personal details about your life to this person; make sure you like him/her.

We know how the prosecution thinks

While it may seem strange for defense attorneys to have positive working relationships with prosecutors, the legal process is better for everyone involved when there is some level of familiarity. In addition to allowing for effective negotiations, plea deals, and affordable bonds, knowing the prosecution also means we know how they think and how to find weaknesses in their case. We will use this knowledge and understanding to position you for the most favorable outcome possible.

We have handled cases like yours many times before

With decades of experience, very little surprises us. When choosing the right defense lawyer, you don’t want someone who just dabbles in criminal defense. At Davis & Cannon, LLP, we have extensive experience defending clients against all types of criminal charges. In fact, it is likely that we have handled multiple cases nearly identical to years.

We work diligently to protect your future

If you have been charged with a crime, you may be facing serious penalties and hefty fines. But a criminal conviction carries even more damaging penalties that are hard to quantify and even harder to prepare for. A criminal record can haunt you for years, decades, or throughout your life. Depending on your charges, a conviction can negatively impact your ability to get a job, housing, a loan, and it can even affect child custody arrangements. An experienced lawyer will fight to protect your rights, wallet, reputation, and freedom.

We determine if your constitutional rights were violated

If law enforcement violated your rights at any time during the arrest or investigation, any associated evidence may be deemed inadmissible. We know how to look for and identify improper procedures and any infringement of your rights. Our experienced defense team has helped countless clients get charges reduced or dismissed entirely.

We manage your expectations

We are not in the business of telling clients that everything will be fine. Sometimes things aren’t fine. Our legal team will analyze the details of your case and give it to you straight. We will ensure that you fully understand your rights and options and that you know what outcomes are most likely. And wherever you stand, we will fight tirelessly to protect your rights and get you the best possible outcome for your particular case.

Practice Areas

At Davis & Cannon, LLP, we defend clients against all kinds of criminal charges. However, the most common cases we deal with include:

DUIs

In Wyoming, as in the rest of the US, you are considered over the legal limit to drive if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08 percent or greater. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that a first-offense DUI is no big deal. Even first offenders face up to six months in jail, fines of up to $750, a 90-day license suspension, and the installation of an ignition interlock device (IID).

For second and subsequent offenses, fines increase and you can lose your license for up to three years. And if aggravating circumstances are present, such as an excessively-high BAC or having a child in the car, you may be facing felony charges and much harsher penalties.

Drug Crimes

Wyoming has tough drug laws. Depending on the type and quantity of drugs in question, and whether you are charged with simple possession or intent to distribute, you may be facing fines of up to $25,000 per charge and up to 20 years in prison.

Fortunately, Wyoming has alternative sentencing programs for non-violent drug offenders who likely need rehabilitation more than time behind bars. It is imperative to work with an attorney experienced in drug crimes if you are facing any type of drug charges.

Violent Crimes

Being convicted of a violent crime carries severe penalties, but none more serious than the damage to your reputation. If you have been charged with a violent crime, such as assault and battery, sexual assault, robbery, or homicide, it is absolutely essential to hire a defense attorney with experience in violent crimes. If convicted, you may find it difficult—if not impossible—to find housing, employment, and loans for decades. Not to mention, a violent crime conviction can affect any child custody arrangements you have with your child’s other parent. Do not attempt to fight these charges on your own.
