What Do Defense Attorneys Do?
Defense attorneys, also known as criminal defense lawyers, represent individuals or organizations facing criminal charges. Their primary role is to advocate for their clients and ensure that their legal rights are protected throughout the criminal justice process. Here are some of the key tasks and responsibilities of defense attorneys:
- Legal advice: Defense attorneys provide legal advice to their clients regarding their rights, the charges they are facing, and the potential consequences of the legal proceedings.
- Case analysis: They review the evidence against their clients, investigate the circumstances of the alleged crime, and identify any legal issues that may impact the case.
- Defense strategy: Based on their analysis of the case, defense attorneys develop a defense strategy tailored to the specific circumstances of their clients' cases. This strategy may involve challenging the evidence, presenting witnesses, negotiating with prosecutors, or preparing for trial.
- Court representation: If the case goes to trial, defense attorneys represent their clients in court proceedings. This includes presenting evidence, cross-examining witnesses, making legal arguments, and advocating for their clients' innocence or for mitigating circumstances.
- Post-trial advocacy: If their clients are convicted, defense attorneys may continue to advocate on their behalf during sentencing, seeking the most favorable outcome possible.
Throughout the entire process, defense attorneys work to protect their clients' rights, ensure fair treatment under the law, and achieve the best possible outcome given the circumstances of the case.

"Exceptional Defense and Immediate Dismissal"
Attorney Justice Kelley was amazing defending me in Court on October 24, 2024. He was well-prepared and well-versed in case law during our proceedings. He was able to have my case dismissed immediately. Being a new Attorney in Deschutes County, I had the honor of being his first case here. Congratulations Counselor.- Bill M. -
