Should I Hire an Attorney? |
DO YOU WANT TO TAKE CHANCES WITH YOUR FUTURE?If you represent yourself, the court assumes that you understand the rules, laws and regulations for your defense. You are a sole advocate fighting against a complex legal system of law enforcement, prosecutors and judges. Law enforcement gathers evidence for the prosecutor. The prosecutor’s objective is to convict you based on the collected evidence and the judge’s role is to impose sentencing.
WHY HIRE AMAYA & ASSOCIATES ATTORNEYS AT LAW- We evaluate your specific legal issue to determine what defenses and approaches are best suited to resolve your case
- Our attorneys have detailed knowledge of important legal rules that individuals representing themselves would find almost impossible to locate on their own, because many criminal law rules are hidden away in court interpretations of federal and state constitutions
- We negotiate “deals” with prosecutors, often arranging for reduced charges and lesser sentencing
- Advocate for sentencing programs that are tailored to our client’s specific needs
- Help our clients cope with emotions of fear, embarrassment and reduced self-esteem
- Provide clients with a reality check—a knowledgeable objective perspective on your situation and what is likely to occur if their case goes to trial. This perspective is vital for defendants trying to decide whether to accept a prosecutor’s offer, “plea bargain or reduced sentencing”
- Highly experienced attorneys with local court customs, procedures and court personnel, district attorneys and judges
- We understand the possible “hidden costs” of pleading guilty, which self represented individuals might never consider, and the impact it will have in their future
- We will gather information from prosecution witnesses who often fear people accused of crimes and therefore refuse to speak to people representing themselves
- Hire and manage investigators who may be able to believably impeach (contradict) prosecution witnesses who exaggerate or change their stories
- In some misdemeanor cases we will represent you without your presence in court.
