- Macci, Kyle:
Perhaps the greatest calamity that can befall a human being in our society is to be charged with a criminal offense. Based on mere accusations, the government, through the machinery of criminal prosecution, focuses its formidable powers against the individual. Amassed against the accused will be the prosecutor, the police and often times the general public. The process may rend apart the accused's family, alienate his friends and destroy his own feelings of self worth. He will be forced to undergo public proceedings, many of which he may not understand and in which the prosecution will constantly point the accusatory finger as if to say "By his deeds, he is no longer one of us." Very often the stakes are high. A judgment against the accused may require him to forfeit his property, his freedom, even his life. Into this breach steps defense counsel. Sworn to protect the client's interests to the best of his ability, defense counsel, too, may incur the wrath of public disapproval, but his solemn oath will require him to provide the best defense the law will allow no matter what the personal costs. Armed with little more than his wits and his knowledge of the criminal law, he will become the voice through which the accused will, in effect, do battle with the awesome powers of his own government. Our adversary system requires no less than that defense counsel become a "brother in arms" to the accused in this battle. Defense counsel must be prepared to stand a fight for his client against public outcry; he must stand and fight for his client throughout his trial; and he must stand and fight for his client at the time final judgment is entered. Such a system is not efficient. It is not designed for "swift justice". Indeed, some would say that it is not designed for "justice" at all. But if posterity judges a free society by how it treats its individual members, it should be of considerable consolation to us all that our system does not require an accused to stand alone.

- Spinella & Associates:
No defense is too fierce when your freedom is at stake.
Your most valuable assets can be lost if you have been charged with a crime...your freedom and your reputationÉto say nothing of the forfeiture of all your assets.
Prosecutors have the vast resources of police departments and their own investigators working hard to make their case against people, often before they are even charged.
- Joiner, Kevin:
Panic. Uncertainty. Shame. Fear of jail time. Worried about losing your driver's license or your job. If you have been charged with drunk driving, drug possession or drug sales, these are no doubt the thoughts and feelings running through your mind.

- Kent Avery:
Can I represent myself? Yes, but it's not advisable. You have a
constitutional right to represent yourself. However, DWI is a serious
charge and the law is complex and the penalties severe. A qualified
attorney knows the law and can negotiate with prosecutors on your
behalf. An attorney can also review your case for errors, suppress
evidence, and retain experts for your case.
- Robert Fiedler:
Every charge misdemeanor or felony charge has the power to change someone's life forever.
- Brown, Paindiris & Scott:
If I get arrested will I always have a criminal conviction? There are
all kinds of alternative programs available to those defendants who are
first offenders for non serious crimes. Your attorney must be aware of
these various programs to best protect your rights.
- Kimberly Graham:
The Sixth Amendment provides, in part, that criminal defendants have a
right to "be confronted with the witnesses against [them]." This
provision is generally referred to as the "Confrontation Clause" and
means that criminal defendants have the right to cross-examine their
accusers or witnesses who are testifying against them.
- Robert Muchinsky:
DWI/DUI means "driving while intoxicated" or "driving while under the
influence" and refers to the crime of drunk driving. This crime usually
includes driving while abusing drugs and the operation of other kinds
of motorized vehicles, such as boats. Drunk driving is defined by each
state's criminal code.
