"Scott came through for me in a big way!"
Got myself into a little trouble but the consequences looked like they were going to be much more serious than I'd originally thought.- Marco -
"La representacion de Señor Scott era excelente por un u precio justo."
El DMV habia confiscado mi licensia por un ano y iban a suspendirla por un ano mas. Señor Scott hizo muchas llamadas a sus conecciones en el DMV, me represento en una audencia, y el DMV devolvio la licensia. La representacion de Señor Escot era excelente por un u precio justo.- Salvador -
"I put Scott Bentley on my side and he DELIVERED!"
Last year, I had 2 misdemeanor court cases that gave me many sleepless nights. Luckily, I had the real Mailman -- Scott Bentley on my side and he DELIVERED!
He was able to have one misdemeanor reduced to an infraction in which I would just have to pay a small fine (and don't think about it ever again) and the other one will be dismissed once I complete a court orderd program thereby maintaining my record pristine. I would always hire Atty. Scott Bentley to help me through any legal problems I may have in the future. I believe that he will, like a true mailman, always deliver...- Arman -

"Responds quickly and communicates well with clients."
Knowledgeable, responds quickly and communicates well with clients. I hired him on a short notice and he was there despite the fact that he had less than 24 hours to prepare. Very affordable.- Brittini
What Do Criminal Defense Lawyers Do?
Criminal defense lawyers specialize in representing individuals or organizations charged with criminal offenses or accused of wrongdoing in a court of law. Their primary role is to counsel their clients and protect their constitutional rights during the legal process.
The specific duties of a criminal defense lawyer may vary depending on the nature of the case but typically include the following:
- Investigating the facts of the case: Criminal defense lawyers will review police reports, witness statements, and any other evidence that may be relevant to the case to build a strong defense.
- Advising clients: Criminal defense lawyers will advise their clients on their legal options, the potential consequences of a guilty plea or conviction, and the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case.
- Preparing and presenting a defense: Criminal defense lawyers will prepare a defense strategy based on the facts of the case and present that defense in court, including cross-examining witnesses, arguing motions, and presenting evidence.
- Negotiating plea deals: In some cases, a riminal defense lawyer may negotiate with prosecutors to secure a plea deal for their client, which may involve reduced charges or a lesser sentence in exchange for a guilty plea.
- Protecting their clients' rights: Criminal defense lawyers will ensure their client's constitutional rights are protected throughout the legal process, including the right to a fair trial, the right to remain silent, and the right to an attorney.
Overall, criminal defense lawyers play a critical role in the criminal justice system by ensuring that individuals accused of crimes receive a fair trial and are protected against unjust treatment by the state.
