What can a criminal law attorney do for you?

You may ask "What can a lawyer do for me?" A criminal defense attorney who knows how the North Carolina criminal justice system works, Mr. Connelly will consider a number of strategies. He may use the plea bargaining process in an effort to have the prosecutor dismiss the case or reduce the charges against you. He will examine the evidence against you and, if there are any irregularities, challenge it. He will speak on your behalf, helping you to avoid mistakes that could permanently damage your case, and present your case in the most positive light. He will see to it that you have the advantage of every right guaranteed in the laws and Constitution.
