Make no mistake, if you are charged with a serious crime you need someone who will fight for you. Whether you did it or not, you have an enormous arsenal of rights that you can bring to bear when some lawyer employed by a district attorney's office or a U.S. Attorney's office claims you committed a crime.
Defending a white-collar crime to a jury is a difficult proposition: your "peers" in the jury box will consist of at least a few who have never worked in a corporation, have never dealt with large sums of money, and are uninformed about the technical aspects of the allegations.They will resent a well-heeled, well-educated defendant who is even accused of wrong-doing.
People in positions of great trust violate that trust daily. Mothers murder their own children. Congressmen commit sexual improprieties. Doctors commit malpractice. Priests sexually abuse children. Teachers have sexually inappropriate relations with their students. Law enforcement officers are no different - and The Haslam Law Firm can make them accountable to their victims.

It is impossible to adequately convey how many cases are lost because a suspect gave a statement to the police.
There was a time when it was adequate to advise people to simply not talk.
If you say nothing it cannot be used against you.
In fact, for years I told people who knew they were innocent to be very cautious because once you open your mouth, it's up to the police/FBI/county deputy to honestly report what you said.
And no matter what your political persuasion these days, there is adequate evidence that this may be a fool's errand.

The State has the obligation to present the evidence.
Defense counsel need present nothing, even if he knows what the truth is.
He need not furnish any witnesses to the police, or reveal any confidences of his client, or furnish any other information to help the prosecution's case.
If he can confuse a witness, even a truthful one, or make him appear at a disadvantage, unsure or indecisive, that will be his normal course.
Our interest in not convicting the innocent permits counsel to put the State to its proof, to put the State's case in the worst possible light, regardless of what he thinks or knows to be the truth.

They may resent a well-heeled, well-educated defendant who is even accused of wrong-doing.
They may simply have no experience in the world of big-business and only know it seems like a world populated by people who think they are better: you need a trial lawyer who can defuse the instinctive resentment of the people who will determine your fate.

Mothers murder their own children.
Congressmen commit sexual improprieties.
