Having an experienced defense lawyer with a track record of success at either gaining acquittals or having charges dropped can make a big difference. The District Attorney’s office may have considerable resources, but a defense attorney who understands the law knows that a prosecutor also has a very high legal standard to meet. They have to prove our client’s guilt beyond any reasonable doubt, and get a unanimous vote from twelve jurors they have done so. That’s not easy to do and when a conscientious defense attorney is involved, it makes a huge difference.

Defendants also have more rights than they may realize. They have the right not to incriminate themselves. There are various constitutional protections that limit how far authorities can go in gathering evidence. When those limits are breached, it’s right and just that defendants be protected by an experienced and successful defense attorney.

The Law Office of Dr. E.R. Báez, P.C. allows clients to have a personal relationship with staff and with Attorney Báez. That’s important. Our professional responsibility will naturally lead us to have a thorough grasp on the legal details of every case, but we also know how scary the criminal justice process can be for the person and the family that goes through it. We’re here for our clients, from start to finish and all the way through.
