When an individual is accused of criminal act, it is a terrifying situation. The criminal justice system is not the place to get caught. The wheels of justice move forward inexorably and without a strong defense a conviction could occur. There are many people who spend time in military, state or federal prison that are completely innocent - they failed to have a defender that could prove that they were innocent. If you are charged with a crime, even a DUI, that indicates that the prosecutor feels that they have enough evidence to convict.
